Letter: When in Utah, do like a Ute?
(Andrew Medichini | AP) A view of the ancient Roman Forum as seen from the topmost level of the ancient Colosseum, on the occasion of a media tour presenting the re-opening after forty years of the fourth and fifth level of the Italy's most famous site, in Rome, Tuesday, Oct. 3, 2017. Officials on Tuesday showed off the newly restored fourth and fifth levels of the Colosseum, which are opening to the public starting Nov. 1. Included in the tour is a connecting hallway that has never before been open to tourists.

I read Byron H. Bagnell’s Sept. 9 letter with a sarcastic chuckle, quickly followed by some heartburn.
I have grown up with the vapid and banal “If you don't like it here, leave” attitude that is quite prominent in some circles in this state.
Here's the deal, Byron. If you keep your beliefs out of my face, you will never even hear what my beliefs are. If you want to use the, “When in Rome do like a Roman” analogy, perhaps you could have addressed the readership among the Utes, Navajo or Shoshone.
