Anyone who knows anything about history knows that Joseph Smith was a polygamist. The real lesson of history is how the practice of polygamy poses a danger to our society. We are already on a slippery slope. When our society no longer values the marriage between a man and a woman, we move to cohabitation and gay marriage. Next we have marriage between father and daughter and mother and son. We have marriages of all kinds. Somewhere polygamy rounds out the buffet and society gets a huge case of food poisoning and our children get the short end of the stick.

I want a FRiend to give a convincing argument why polygamy is a danger to our society, giving historical data as to its effects on social stability. We can give names dates and the weather all we want, but without the lessons, it all becomes worthless.

Inasmuch as laws have been enacted by Congress forbidding plural marriage...
I hereby declare my intention to submit to those laws..."

We just CAN'T have a bunch of LAWBREAKERS in our society without ill effects.

Just LOOK what "CHOICE" has done to us!
