Reflections of a sick culture

Just now, the news is covering a Mormon polygamous sect. My experience has shown me that men left to their own devices will justify anything in the name of religion. This is nothing more than a continuation of what we know about Islam, disregard for human rights, whether women or children. Usually the stupid world that we live in turns a blind eye to such terrible practices. Here there was one plucky 8 year old and a brave uncle. Of course, from the retrograde society that they live in, they face certain recrimination or death.
