PoeticJustice Your linking of the Mormon Church with Warren Jeffs group is unfair. Mormons haven't practiced Polygamy since the 1890's, and you are linking the two to discredit the Mormon Church. I'm not impressed with Warren's doctrine either, but I am with the Mormon Church. They are the longest lived people in the US, give more to charity by far than any other demographic, have the highest success rate in marriage, and the highest percentage of education than any other demographic. Do Mormons have challenges, sure they do, but how do you explain the outstanding statistics in every catagory that relates to societal excellence if all they think about is sex. If you were to take off the blinders of prejudice and get to know them you will find that, as a general rule, they take better care of their neighbors than anyone else in sight. Why do you suppose businesses and governments actively seek LDS people for to fill their positions of responsibility. It is because most of them work hard and are dependable. They are less likely to be dishonest or steal your wife. Your characterization, while it might fit the occasional Mormon individual is much less likely to be accurate in the general Mormon group than in the American population and i suspect you know it. It is also a fact that when Mormons do misbehave in the ways you have described and it comes to the attention of the leadership, the individual is disciplined and if repentance is not immediate and complete, will lose church membership. The best way to judge is by Christ's standard, "by their fruits ye shall know them". I'll take the "Mormon fruits" any day.

I hope the polygamists keep lying publicly and refuse to cooperate with the Dept. of Justice's investigation. This will almost guarantee a major crackdown on this corrupt cult whose members, like Mormon prophet Joseph Smith, think they're above the law. Anyone who's seen the doc film Banking On Heaven knows the truth about the abusers and pedophiles running this pseudo religion. It should be reported that Utah State Prison houses 80% sex-offenders and no other prison comes close. Utahans also watch 11% more pornography than other states. Seems Joseph Smith's legacy of marrying and/or molesting children lives on and on in Mormon-land. There are over a hundred polygamous sects in Mormon controlled states where tens of thousands of women and children are stripped of their human rights –sexually, physically, and emotionally abused. The question must be answered: How will a Mormon president protect the rights of women and children in the U.S.? The American public deserves to know
