re: #520 Escaped Hillbilly

Oh Latter Day Saints. Yes. Some of their membership have done some pretty unsavory things. I don’t have a problem with polygamy or polyandry. But I do have a problem with this sort of abuse.

Actually, Fundamental LDF. The current ones, like Romney, don’t want to criticize their fathers, but they would rather pretend none of this happened.

I’m surprised you are so considerate about polygamy/polyandry. The latter is really non existent outside of hippies/60’s lore and certainly doesn’t qualify for welfare payments like the former does.

As far as I know, the only really recognized polygamy is the Muslim one and I believe that was initially a matter of charity, as a legitimate way for a man to take care of a widow without committing a sin. Needless to say, that aspect probably accounts for 1% of polygamy.

I’ll go for the hippie version. At least it had no illusions that it was other than fun and sex.
