I agree. The key is "consenting adults"

I totally agree...I could care less what consenting adults choose to do but to Force children into the same lifestyle is just ridiculous.

For those interested in the subject of Polygamy consider reading Jon Krakauer's book "Under the Banner of HeavenUnder the Banner of Heaven ". Krakauer is the author of Into Thin Air and Into the Wild.

I've read all of his books.

I have no idea what came over me when I posted that comment. I must have lost my mind, gone totally mad. What is stranger than strange now that I look back at all my posts through out the history of time going back to the dark ages, I've been very consistant about objecting to child abuse in all forms. How totally wacko is that!!

Yeah, yeah, yeah... I've been following this story since it started.

Looks like they now have a legal and logistical nightmare on their hands...

SAN ANGELO (AP) ― Texas officials who took 416 children from a polygamist retreat into state custody sent many of their mothers away Monday, as a judge and lawyers struggled with a legal and logistical morass in one of the biggest child-custody cases in U.S. history.
