I watched Oprah today. She had a segment on the polygamy disaster that is Colorado City, Arizona.

Check out this link for an interesting history of this town.
Colorado City

Forget gay people, how the fuck can men in this town have 100's of children and 37 wives? Plus they marry these women when they are 15? That is abominable. Oprah said in between footage of Amish-looking men and women and children walking hand in hand, "Scary. Like the Taliban is it not?" I am not sure the Taliban has a polygamy problem. What really pisses me off is the drain on the welfare system as these men use their perverted religion to get laid with innocent young girls. But they are straight, right? So they can do whatever the fuck they want! This government stands aside while young girls are abused and smuggled from Canada so that there is not rampant inbreeding. If this was religious based, there would be no way that they would need to worry about inbreeding. Wouldn't that be considered "God's Will"? The amount of calculation that goes in to maintaining this cult proves that there is a perversion there.

Reasons why it bothers me:

-There is no equality. Why can't Women have multiple husbands? Why is it always the man that gets to have multiple sexual partners, a bunch of kids that he doesn't have to do the work of caring for, and being able to secure his place in heaven by polygamy. Does a woman not have the opportunity to go to heaven?

- I am the most liberal person I know. But these are children. Their education is cut off at 10th grade if they get it, there is no connection to the outside world, these marriages are arranged before they can even understand what it means to be a woman, to understand sexuality. All of a sudden a MUCH OLDER man is fucking them and they are having children.

Maybe we should spend billions of dollars targeting these sick mother fuckers instead of denying nice homosexual couples that have been together for 40 years a chance to marry. If the Christian Right believes homosexuality is a choice (which is disputable) then Mormon Fundamentalism most certainly is a choice as well. I know religion is a hot topic people don't really want to discuss. But this is my theory, if you are involved in a religion where you have to hurt children or animals, or deny a person (woman) her civil rights, then it's wrong! Go ask Jesus, he will tell you! Isn't polygamy illegal? Why aren't these sick child molesters in jail? What someone needs to do is Get these women a t.v. set and make them watch episode after episode of Oprah and the discovery channel. Get them a copy of Virginia Woolf's A Room of One's Own .There is an entire universe out there. I'm for liberating the whole town, who's coming with me?
