The news is full of the polygamy in Eldorado, Texas. Some thoughts.

Do not want a bunch of women catering to my wishes and demands. One real woman is enough for me to handle. More than enough.

It is good to have one whose strengths and weaknesses compliment. One who is sane in the areas where I am weird. And will tell me in the very few instances I am weird. Need that, am afraid. If those folks want to work it with more than one wife, more power to them.

The problem with FLDS, to me, is not the polygamy but the abuse. Physical and sexual, but emotional as well. Those guys are wimps, wooses. A real woman would make mincemeat out of them. They are not up to a real relationship. And the women are a bunch of robots. That blank druggie sort of look. No personality, no brains, no hope, no aspirations. Not talking about getting into the business world, women who choose to take care of a home and family are great. Talking about facing up to the everyday joys and challenges, give and take of life. Those FLDS guys manufacture blank baby machines who will never challenge. And, of course, never give a real and joyful relationship. Blowups would be almost as good.

It would be fine with me if the government kept its hands out of the polygamy problem. But they need to really work on religious extremists and abuse of all sorts.
