Court Upbraids Texas Over Polygamists

Monday, May 26, 2008

A Texas appeals court ruled that the state had no business taking more than 400 children from a polygamist compound outside of San Angelo. What do you think?

Chuck Gilberto,
Systems Analyst
"It's just nobody's business what polygamists do behind closed compound walls."

Astrid Patch,
Grocer
"That's too bad. The children who'd been removed from the compound were just getting used to iPods and the Internet and not getting raped."

Karl Hayes,
Satellite TV Installer
"The same thing happened to me but with fireworks. Can I get those back, too?"
