Update on Polygamist issue.
I'm starting to think I was overly critical of the state for taking ALL of the children. I still worry about due process but if all the kids are at risk then I don't blame the state for taking all of them. Especially if the mothers weren't cooperating and deliberately trying to hose over the investigation.

Scared for our rights.
OK, for those of you not interested in current events please bare with me.
As many of you know the government seized about 400 children from a polygamist group in TX because of suspicion of child abuse. While I don't advocate polygamy or child abuse (and I'm pretty sure that both occurred in this case to some extent) I am concerned that our government is throwing caution to he wind as far as religious groups go.
This scares the crap out of me that children can be ripped out of a parents arms without so much as one REAL witness to any crime that endangers that child. Also without the court hearing any objections. How would you feel if your children were ripped away from you and you were not allowed to see them simply because some nutcase pretended to be a 13 yr old girl that was abused in your home? Or heaven forbid she pretended abuse in your uncles home? Does that make any sense!?
Our government is too powerful and getting too out of control.
Here is more info if you are interested. The site that it goes to is a conservative site and I don't agree with all he says, but at least he puts forward a good arguement and does a decent job backing it up.
