I'm going straight to Hell for this one
The media here in Utah is all aglow over these "Pliggies" the Texas department of opression has been rounding up and sorting out. I wanted to avoid barking about this particular topic, and did a pretty good job holding out ... for a whole day. So not that it matters at all, allow me to precipitate my vomitous thought on the topic.
First of all, why is polygamy, or more accurately, polyamory illegal? Could someone please explain this to me? You see, from my point of view, freedom is inclusive of non-agressive acts between consenting adults. Polygamy/polyamory between consenting adults is generally a non-agressive act, participated in voluntarily, when it's legal.
Now this FLDS case in Texas is empowering all the fidgety marms in law-enforcement and renewing the public's revulsion toward polygamy/polyamory. They are continually vandalizing our televisions prattling on about the rampant and obvious child abuse (kid fucking, brainwashing) occuring within the confines of this FLDS community. "You see!" they proclaim, "Polygamy is wrong and inevitably leads to child abuse!"
But with all the twaddle spewing forth from the media, there is one huge elephant in the living room of which no one is speaking. And that is this: how did this community come in to being in the first place? What circumstances created the perceived necessity for the FLDS founders to confine and isolate themselves?
Put simply, that great big elephant is the government's prohibition of polygamy. It is this prohibition which caused the Fundamentalists to isolate themselves in closed communitites, intermarrying, brainwashing, kid fucking, and the whole bit. You see, when the government prohibits a behavior, that behavior doesn't stop, it simply goes underground. So it is with polygamy that those who wish to practice it must confine themselves in closed communities, isolated from the outside world, in order to protect themselves from what they perceive as religious persecution.
Over time, the leaders of these underground societies are sure to become corrupted, abusing their power over their followers. Always they use brainwashing. And sometimes they turn to kid fucking.
What the leaders of this religious sect did was wrong, inexcusably wrong. Let me be very clear about that. These are evil, evil men.
But it's high time to realize that it is the government's prohibition on their religious practices which creates the environment in which these evil acts can occur.
