On the 100th anniversaey of Zion National Park:

Of course the area was first called Zion (or "Little Zion") by the early Mormon settlers. However, one day, Brigham Young came over from his winter home in St. George, and noticiing liquor, tobacco, and other vices there, firmly said: "This is a beautiful place but it is not Zion." Whereupon local Mormons began to call the area "not-Zion." That didn't stick, but suppose it did. Would we have "Not-Zion National Park"?
