hee, Gud.
But I understand. You gave up everything you had to find me. And you found me broken. It's hard for you.

Less threat of competition from the younguns might be a good thing.
Speaking of less threat of competition from the younguns, did anybody link to the story of a polygamous Mormon sect abandoning between 1,000 and 4,000 of its young men to make room for more wives for the elders?
I can't remember which web site it was on, I'm looking for it now.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Today is apparently "Let's do lewd and inappropriate dances at school day" in NYC
Whoot whoot! I think it's because it cooled off some.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Sean, I remember seeing something about that. The official reason is that they break household rules, but the theory is to eliminate competition for women/make polygamy easier.
Sorry, though, don't have a link.

See it? It's been a very important story in AZ for months.

Yeah, the story said they were being abandoned all over the southwest, including in Arizona. I thought I'd read the story on MSNBC, but I can't find it today. I swear I was just reading it in the last day or two.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Here's the polygamy story: [link]

Oh my word, how sad and awful.

"If you have a son or daughter in your home, and their behavior got worse and worse and they defied you, wouldn't you want them to leave?"
Um... no? I mean, nice try, mister, I get that you're trying to say all these teenage boys were frightful delinquents who couldn't be helped, but you fail.
ETA: It's not that anything would make his take more convincing, but do they think no one's noticed that it's just the boys? Sad, sad, sad. And I'm creeped out by not just the sexism but the mathematical implications of needing three wives to enter the "highest level" of heaven.
