Or do you think that a better explanation is that nobody is perfect, including JS, and this was just being human? Or was it something else? Having not found out about that stuff until my mission, it's something that I've always wondered about.

I have more questions concerning polygamy than strong opinions. I guess I am like many in that regard. If pinned down my opinion today is that I am not convinced one way or the other concerning whether or not polygamy was originally of God in principle. If it was of God in principle, I believe what you described above was not the manner in which it was intended to be applicated. So in those cases my opinion, which is not to reach SE Idaho, is that Joseph Smith was not acting in accordance with God's will.
