I grew up in a polygamous household and it is my opinion that all the statements about polygamy being about slavery, brainwashing, abuse, tax fraud, welfare costs, etc are plain ignorant. Religion in general is full of these very things. TV Evangelists raise millions from their viewers/listeners. How much tithing comes from widows on social security or other welfare recipients.
The place I grew up in has some interesting history. For the past 16+ years the Valedictorian and/or Salutatorian of the public school, where many of them attend, was a polygamist child including this last year where they announced four Valedictorians. 3 out of the 4 were plyg kids. Interesting "wasted humanity".
Just because you disagree with a 'lifestyle choice' doesn't mean you have the right to be an A$$ about it. When I left the AUB and TSCC, I was very much against polygamy. I was also very much against homosexual or even interracial relationships, etc. Each of these is nothing more than religious ignorance/bias and hate mongering. I have come to realize the the government has no right to govern morality between consenting adults.
