We Are Safe and Secure Now!!

If you've not seen the news recently, let me tell you the great news. There has been a monster roaming the streets of our country for a while and the monster was captured yesterday. Withour country struggling with the Middle East, Korea, domestic terrorism, pedophiles, poverty, violence in our schools and on our streets and more, the last thing we need to worry about is an evil creature only imaginable in some George Romero movie walking free. But, like I said the "creature from below" is in the custody of our law enforcement officials and not able to hurt anyone again.

This predator I'm referring to is the vile pile of dog squeeze known as Warren Steed Jeffs, the polygamist! If it weren't for the courageous and persistent efforts of the FBI and countless other law enforcement officers, I'd still be balled up in the corner of my bedroom tonight, shivering like a wet kitten on a cold winter night. The thought of a grown man choosing to take multiple wives that have agreed to be with him is horrific. I know marriage is a religious union and that the government has this seperation of church thingy-ma-jig, but I don't care. I want all the resources necessary used to keep these people off the street. They are as big a threat to this country as....well, homosexuals and Presbyterians. If we continue to worry about "violent" criminals and those that actually violate other rights through force or fraud, these people will continue to live their lives the way they want to, while minding their own beeswax. That's just not acceptable! Someone or something has to stop it and thank God, today that someone was the FBI. Good job guys.

Now I know that Warren Jeffs is accused of marrying off young girls to older men too, but he's not accused of murder. What I mean is, he's not accused of "really" forcing anything. The parents of these underage children should be the ones punished for that, not the moronic chap conducting some ceremony. It is a warped, disgusting, selfish and cruel act to marry a child, especially if it's against their will. Unfortunately, they may not have a will if they don't know what's going on, because of their age. But that's where I'm saying, it's their parents that should be strung up by their finger nails and beat with a rubber hose.

I have yet to see what the age of the girls are, but want to keep in mind certain truths. We've got a problem with children having sex today at younger and younger ages. These are willing kids for the most part, not molestations. Also, in many cultures it is and always has been customary for the parents to arrange marriages. (Given todays divorce rate, this may not be such a bad idea.) Also, in some cultures, including ours long ago, it is normal to marry at around 14. Gross! But for all I know, the news or FBI may be talking about 16 yr. olds marrying 22 yr. olds. That's still on the parents back though.

The beginning of this post was chock full of sarcasm, but I want to make my point clear. Spending so much money, man-power and time chasing an adult that has chosen to take on multiple partners seems incredibly stupid, given the opportunity cost. What could that money, man-power and time have been used for instead? Maybe something that would really have an impact on our country. This guy was on a top 10 list with Osama bin Laden. Do his alleged crimes really make him one of the United States top 10 most wanted? Maybe the top 23, but top 10...I don't think so.

I was a little worried where this post was actually going to go...i knew it had to do with some gov't agency spending money on something that the gov't shouldn't be worried about. Glad you made that point that he and Osama are (were) on the top 10 list...that really puts things into perspective.

Miss you T!

Oh, and I take that comment about Presbyterians personnally :)

Wow... your blog gave me something to think about. In truth when very young adults/children enter into relationships they are too young for it normally is based on the absence of parents being involved in their life.

i agree with your thoughts!!

Now have you signed up for the Half Marathon Amy has been so sweet to remind you of??
