TAKE THE MEN AWAY

No, the title is not in regards to the men in my life, it is actually about the stupid Eldorado, TX polygamists. Just freaking take the men away. This is my theory and I don't think its an uneducated one (I took an entire class on Polygamy here at the BYU). Granted, my idea is only possible in a perfect world where there would be enough man power and no loop holes in the law. So I think authorities need to go in and arrest those who perpetuate of the whole polygamy issue, the men. Start with all bigamists 18 and older. They are clearly breaking the laws of plural marriage and I'm sure most of them are married to freaking 12 year olds too. If the men are taken away, who are all the crazy women going to marry? Well no one. Perfect.

There are a few problems like what do you do with the hundreds of women and children left on every polygamist colony. Hopefully the women can get really high paying jobs at butter churners or something. I just cannot understand how men in Polygamists groups can walk around free. There is a large polygamist colony just 20 or 30 miles south of Provo. Everybody knows about yet nobody does anything about it. How can that be? If police knew there was a meth lab at a particular house they wouldn't let it just sit there, they would put a stop to it and arrest them.

Also, this is just a side note. The Eldorado FLDS group broke away from the Church over one issue: the revelation to end polygamy. They didn't believe that it really came from God but from a people who just wanted to be accepted by the rest of America. Well how can you believe that one prophet can have a revelation to start doing something and not believe that another prophet can have a revelation to stop doing something? Weird-o's.
