In which I list the ten best albums of all time.

Poll: Guess my mileage.

Snippets, reworked and re-organized, from here (basically a bit of creative plagiarism on my part) discussing two questions: Why is the government involved in marriage anyway? Why is polygamy a problem?

Mainly kept here for possible future reference. The assumption is that legalization of gay marriage inevitably leads to legalization of some form of plural marriage.

I should note here that when I lived in Utah I knew several people who left, or were expelled from, the FLDS town on the UT/AZ border. That's not the nastiest polygamist group, but it's certainly not pleasant. One such group, in SLC, horsewhipped a young girl who tried to escape. She re-escaped, went to the hospital, and all hell broke loose. That's when the current crackdown began.

Not exactly sure how to express this one. It's not personal to me, but it's deeply personal to someone. It's tough to write respectfully about someone who's done nothing to earn any respect.

"Past are the hours, the years, of our duress,
His arrogance, our awful servitude."
