I prefer the missiles

Utah is a funny place and I will admit a lot of it is because of the dumbass voting habits of Mormons. Despite being one, I can't help but admit that Mormons as a group tend to vote very stupidly. 

All three variants of the Minuteman missile from History.com

For example, there was a big fuss back in the day about not basing Minuteman ICBMs here, with huge protests about it at the state capital that occurred back in the 70s. Instead of basing the missiles here, the USAF just based the logistical and maintenance headquarters here instead of actual missiles.  Yet, to this day, it is still a hot topic here considering the Minuteman missiles are planned to be updated/refurbished, so lawmakesrs are still huffy about it. 

Yet at the same time, nobody here seems to have any issue with the state being completely riddled with Uranium Disposal Cells, which, IMO, are far more potentially dangerous. Looking at history, it seems like ICBMs are pretty benign, considering they are highly maintained, very secure, and the goal is to NOT use them (and we've done pretty well so far). Whereas nuclear waste handling facilities have had a far worse track record for accidents, as well as the fact that not all dump sites are official or even regulated.

So, all you retarded Mormons who think you did any good at all, had better be proud of yourselves for stopping those icky ICBMs, cause look what you did instead, you idiots. I bet if we actually had ICBMs here, we would have had better oversight for how the nuclear waste is handled in the state. Just for fun, here's a list of disposal sites in Utah:

On top of these, there are also lots of unlisted nuclear waste dump sites within the Skull Valley with only signs to guard them. 

UPDATE: totally forgot to add the Green River Facility and Energy Solutions as well.
