Personally, I could care less what two, three, four, or more consenting adults want to do to express their love. As far as Im concerned, if a man and 4 women, 2 dudes, 3 chicks and 4 dudes, ect, want to have their union recognized by the state, I feel they are entitiled to that. The biggest problem is the fact that underaged minors without the ability to choose are forced into it. And acording to people inside the FLDS relegion, this practice of taking underage girls as brides is a relativley new thing. It wasnt started untill Warren Jeffs' father, Rulon Jeffs, was the 'prophet' of their church, and not then untill after he had a stroke and Warren Jeffs was for all practical purposes leading their chuch. I live in eastern Nevada near the Utah border and we have a few small groups of polygamists living together. I dont know if they are related to the FLDS (there are several factions of fundementilist Mormons across the west, Canada, and Mexico), but in the few dealings I have had with them, they seemed nice.
