The Lighter Side of Polygamy
The Perfesser mentions the HBO show about polygamy in Utah. When Cathy Seipp argues that "legalized polygamy is legalized slavery" it might sound over-the-top. It is not.
A friend of mine lost five years of her life to a polygamist cult, not to mention a great deal of her sanity and self-worth. It took a brave and daring escape from an isolated Mexican community to get the remnants of her life back. That HBO finds this entertaining is just awful. What's next? A show about the joys of 18th century plantations?
