Women Defend Polygamy

Serious moment. Just for a moment. And then we’ll get back to the funner stuff in life. It turns out that we have polygamists in our country, and their women/wives are defending them. Sheesh.

Stung by harsh criticism in the past year, the women of a polygamous town in British Columbia opened their doors to TV cameras Tuesday. The women, some of them teen brides, defended their community and say they aren't being abused.

I find this disturbing on so many levels: (1) That polygamy is going on in Canada, (2) That anyone would want to have more than one spouse, and (3) That some of these “brides” aren’t even old enough to babysit as far as I’m concerned, but they have their own children.

One of [the leader’s] wives, Zelpha, perceives the lifestyle with an attitude not uncommon to the community. "I have lots of companions," she says. "I have lots of friends, and lots of children. There's never a dull moment."

I bet there’s not! This is awful.
