Ok. I disagree with that--I've done some studying of the subject, having lived in Utah for a time and I learned to like and respect a lot of Mormons. From a Christian point of view, they are in serious error but I also see their church being blessed. I believe that at least some of the ones I knew were Christians in serious...but not fatal...error.

The writer of this article is right in that the decisions were in large part economic in one way or another, which then evolved into a social system that took decades to remove themselves.

As for polygamy, it is the natural state of things when fathers do not protect their daughters and lust after the daughters of likeminded negligent fathers. The Mormons fell into that pit and have paid the price, and are still paying it.

And we will see the return of it when "same sex marriage" is codified into law.
