Re: [Utah-astronomy] Buttars is ill

According to news reports, he's quite seriously ill. It's quite difficult, since the man's messages are abominable, but I've no wish for him or his family to suffer. I do hope that there's not some sort of misguided sympathy vote in his favor. Having come from outside Utah, I'm well aware of impressions other Americans have. Things like the Olympics or localf medical research have done good things for Utah's reputation. But misguided legislation, such as Buttars current bills, do huge damage to the way the rest of the nation views us. Coincidentally, they do huge damage inside the state as well.
