JS married a 14 year old as well as other men's wives.

JS was a charismatic and a genius. It's like people will tolerate things done by Woody Allen and Mick Jagger and Abraham for which they'd despise us.

Methinks the men doth protest too much.
Some guys are just jealous they don't get their way. Personally I've never been turned on by a 14 year old, except when I was 14. But I've never been turned on by a 44 year old either.

I think it was appropriate he was found guilty, although I'm surprised by the verdict. For me, it's not about the polygamy, but the age of the girl.
However, I think life in prison would be excessive. |

I'm glad they found him guilty because of the age of the girls involved.
On a related note I believe in under ten years polygamy and gay marriages will be legal. |

Don't worry. Your wife turns 44 next year.

Or maybe we really give a darn about a poor, young teenage girl and what she has to go through. Anyone who has daughters would be glad to see the guilty verdict. For me it isn't really even about the polygamy.
