I liked your post. It looks as if they are making laws to curb the right to hang out because of an existing law that forbids people putting drugs in their bodies.
It's just plain stupidity, IMO, restricting one civil liberty because they've already restricted another.
I've been hanging around with Mani for waaaay to long.
ohhhhhhhhhh... sorry. And yeah, I guess that is the case...
No problem. I often have trouble with the English language.
when did polygamy become a civil right?
About the same time gay marriage did.
It's not illegal to live with multiple "wives" provided the marriages are only religious marriages, and the people aren't fraudulently obtaining marriage licenses from the state. It's illegal when you're married using a state-issued marriage license, then get state-issued marriage licenses for subsequent marriages.
This may be the life for you, Shogun. No child support because there are no birth certificates, and the other wives will help care for the kids you don't want to support. And you can just bounce around from home to home as the wind takes you....
If there were actually charges being brought for child abuse, bring it on. But so long as there isn't, they shouldn't have taken those kids. It's a violation of their civil liberties, period. You don't take kids away because you don't like the lifestyle of their parents, or agree with their religion.
I'm not defending either. I'm saying people have the right to live however they like. If they didn't, you wouldn't have gay couples adopting children legally.

There's no evidence that these people are either. Their star witness turns out to be a liar.

"Swinton was arrested April 16 on a misdemeanor charge of false reporting in a February incident in Colorado Springs with no known ties to the Texas case. She was later released."
"Authorities have said a 16-year-old girl called a crisis center claiming she was abused at the compound. Authorities have not found that girl but say they have found evidence other children were abused."
In other words,they have anonymous phone calls from one person they can't find, and another who's facing charges for previously reporting falsely.
Sounds like an iron clad case to me, Jillie.
