Prop 8: Two Words

I have two words on Prop 8: Pyrrhic victory.

Wow. Well you have much more close-up-and-personal experience than me. I would not have made that leap, but I trust your judgment. :)

My dad (the Jew half of the equation) was a hugely successful businessman and he admitted that the Mormons were often savvier than him.

Ha! Your dad was right. The church is expert at organizing its holdings and income sources such that it is nearly impossible to make a link. You can come up with a lot of lists of "Mormon-owned" businesses, but most of what you find will be suppositions, rather than something you can evidence. I would be amazed if they actually did lose tax-exempt status, but I don't think it would slow down the donations.
