that might be so

nonetheless the early shakers who were really nice people and had
great achivements on multiple levels were more dangerous to society
because of their celibacy than mormons

mormons work a lot and play a lot

polygyny is good for society

try to think out of the box



As for "thinking", where is it? Above are a few
unsupported assertions, nothing more. If there
is any "thinking" behind the assertions, it must
be hiding behind or under the box.

Scrolling way, way up in this thread, all I was
able to find was a stupid comparison between
pedophile Catholic priests and the recent
brouhaha; key difference? Catholicism is legal,
while polygamy isn't. That's what happens when
you live in a box-- you can't see what's going on
outside!
