So a good reason to keep plural marriages illegal is to prevent tribal warefare? Ummmm, I guess you forgot that we live in the US and warfare against another person is usually and already illegal.

A female freeper here argued the same, claiming inside knowledge since she is descended from Utah's polygamists.

I asked her about the Utah wars of the unmarried and never really got an aswer about that.

I am that female freeper and I definetly did anwer you.

1. Mountain Meadows Massacre

2. Johnston's Army (US) called to out to "put down" the Mormon rebellion against the United States.

4. Nauvoo Legion - An army created by the Mormons, highly trained and highly staffed.

3. Several recorded incidences of "blood atonement." The actual killing of young men who had the audacity to try and "steal" the polygamous wife of a more wealthy and powerful man.

How long did these incidences take to build after polygamy was openly practiced? Less than ten years.

Counter that if you can.

You might study up on the testimony of adult males driven out of Utah's polygamist clans because another more powerful male wanted their wife or wives. Many sons are driven out in late adolescence because they are viewed as competition by older males.

These older males are also trading their adolescent female children as property.

It ain't a pretty picture. For a man to control more than one women he has to engage in cultic domination and subjugation techniques. Polygamy is just a form of female slavery wrapped in rhetoric to hide it's true nature.

I guess you forgot that we live in the US and warfare against another person is usually and already illegal.

Yet people die every day in the US from criminal violence.
