I have been away for a while. Mainly because my laptop was down. That damn Windows Vista. But my laptop was fixed and I am back.
I have been away from home for couple of weeks. I spent almost a week in Orange County (California) picking up my desperate housewife, and now I am in Utah for a family reunion. While in California, I took my kids to the Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach. I have to include these photos of my youngest son at the shark tank. They are so cute. He is obviously fascinated, but also a little afraid. His caution prevented him from taking his eyes of the sleek shark gliding behind the plate glass only inch
es away from him.
I am afraid of sharks, too. Sharks like Senator Harry Reid of Nevada, the Senate Majority Leader. He appeared last week in a Senate hearing on polygamy. And this week he proposed some anti-polygamy legislation with his name attached.
Actually that is a slam on sharks. An article in this month’s Reader’s Digest pointed out that sharks don’t intentionally make humans their targets. Harry Reid, however, does make humans his target. Not just any human, but a specific kind of human. Harry Reid hungers to rip apart Mormon polygamists with the savagery of a feeding frenzy.
Harry Reid stated that the groups that practice Mormon polygamy are practicing organized crime. Now when you think about organized crime, you think about Cosa Nostra and the Godfather. You don’t think of women in pioneer dresses, two-story polyg houses and crying kids in dirty diapers.
C’mon, Harry! Get real! What a sell-out crusader! Does no one find it suspect that Harry Reid is a mainstream Mormon?? That organization has been the impetus for most of the persecution of modern Mormon polygamists in our era. Is the irony lost on anyone else? I’m no law student, but the fact that Harry Reid is a Mormon seems to be a conflict of interest.
The last time there was a congressional hearing on polygamy about 120 years ago the Mormon Senator was sitting BEFORE Congress being tried for his practice of plural marriage – the infamous Reed Smoot hearings. The devil must be pleased that this time it is a Mormon sitting in judgment behind his sanctimonious senatorial podium condemning, other Mormons for continuing to live a lifestyle that defines us as Mormons. The persecuted has become the persecutor.
Harry Reid does not care about my rights – or the rights of any other polygamist – because he is a shark swimming in the waters of maritime law.
