["Parker, David X" <dmp31526 AT GlaxoWellcome.com>]

The early Mormon pioneers in Utah tried living something they called the
"United Order." Their inspiration was a belief that the Old Testament
prophet, Enoch, founded a city called Zion and, because the people there
lived in a way that all resources were shared equally and there were no poor
among them, the city and all its inhabitants were taken up into Heaven.
There is still a town in Utah called Orderville, which was one of the places
where they practiced this way of life.

It was a great experiment, but just like Communism and commune-ism, it
didn't work. Eventually Caleb got to feeling like he needed a better pair of
dungarees than Ephraim.
