Polygamy

How 'bout them eyebrows? ;D

I can hardly believe... in the U.S.... with all the rights issues, etc... that have gone on.... that there is something as bizarre as that still out there. 

They look like some kind of 19th century, alien/body-snatcher/mind-control colony.  Weird, weird, weird. ::)

And they produced 400 potentially messed up kids who will go out into the population now?   ???

I'm just thinking...

That's really a case where if you got one as a student, and then their siblings... You could have an entire studio or two.. or three... just off one family.

Or a few bands.  I was joking when I said have kids so you can have your own band, but... Those people have their own army of kids.

Yes its completely weird.  The whole culture of it is messed up and the people look deformed....

- But I must say I'm conflicted as to whether it should be "illegal" or not.  I hate it when the Gov. steps in on anything usually.  Its their problem, not the governements right?

When I saw the eyebrows, "inbred" sprang to mind.  Maybe it's true, maybe not.  But... ugh....   Monobrows... 

The wives seem a lot like children and then they have the reporters kind of harassing them with questions.  I got the impression they might have limited education and then there's a professional journalist in their face trying to twist their words around.  They just keep repeating what they're told apparently.

Yes, it surprised me.  I was thinking, "Hey, I guess if it's legal, then they can do whatever they want."  Apparently underage "stuff" must tend to go along with that.
