These kids were with people who loved them and looked after them. Now they have been torn from their homes and institutionalized. We are doing it for the good of the children you know. Big brother knows what is best. Hell they can't even tell us who it was they were rushing in to protect. The way I feel about these guys these days it wouldn't surprise me if they never did receive a call and just made the whole thing up to justify the raid.

I can't see that polygamy is any worse than other legally accepted sexual practices today, but the marital coercion of minor children is intolerable for me. * * *

I don't cotton to polygamy either, but those children that I saw being taken away in buses did not look like they were being abused. Any girl children that were coerced into marriage by older men could certainly be called victims. I don't think it require smoke bombs and weapons to find out if there are any such in this compound. We've had a number of cult situations in the last 30 years. To me the primary question is not whether the people were abused, but WHY THEY FELT COMPELLED TO TURN OVER THEIR SOVEREIGN INDIVIDUALITY TO A SLICK-TALKING CHARISMATIC FIGURE. That's one of the reasons why I bristle when I see people fawning over celebrities, and especially political leaders like JFK, WJC, and BHO. DO YOUR OWN THINKING, DAMNIT! DO YOUR OWN THINKING!
