Zeal For Truth

A Texas court says the State of Texas Had No Right to keep the children of a polygamist mormon sect in a raid a month ago. I was shocked (well maybe not) to see yesterday that 60% in CNN’s online poll asking whether Texas Police were correct to go in guns-blazing and steal away the children agreed with the court. This, despite that fact that there was merely one anonymous phone call (which has since not been verified) which claimed that there was abuse going on. What that means in principle is that 60% of those who responded to the poll think it is perfectly legitimate for police with zero evidence to go in, arrest people and steal their children.

In another recent Poll, 75% of British Columbians say they want polygamists prosecuted. But polygamy, which is biblically abhorrent and a sin, is also a free and victimless arrangement between consenting adults. There is no crime to prosecute - no one is hurt by voluntarily agreeing to be a part of a polygamous relationship. The only crime that is proven right now is kidnapping by the state authorities.
