Watched a lot of the proceedings on TV, but thought it weird that the ladies all wore the same type of old fashioned dresses.They all could be wives of one man for that matter.
Incredible that people could be brainwashed so much that they accept behaviour totally contrary to current mainstream behaviour. |

Brainwashed?
I go out of my way to avoid those social mores and norms that I dislike. Have I brainwashed myself?
Most things awesome have come from...

I don't even know why polygamy is still illegal. If I could find a couple ladies who were into it I would be a polygamist in a heartbeat. It makes more economic sense today than good old monogamist marriage. |

The polygamists act like people did like 5,000 years ago, very very backwards.
How do they have money, do they work? Do they contribute to society in any way? I hope that my tax money doesn't go to supporting them.

Oh, biological determinism! It's my personal favorite form of ideological oppression- two out of three evolutionists agree, ______ group is inferior because of the Science Reason!!
Replace the phrase "The maternal instinct" with "The not wanting to starve and die feeling" and I'd say Shaw was bang on. |

How is polygamy in any way different than homosexual marriage, provided all parties concerned are consenting adults?
The problem with the polygamists comes from their abuse of children. |

So long as noone gets hurt, what's the problem? Personally, I think three top quality men would be my ideal- I'm needy. |

| Why have three wives? You're just asking for three times as much nagging. Good luck to them. |

That's the charge right there. This is about kids not wives. Although the police have been very slow in coming forward with their evidence. |
