LETTER TO THE EDITOR:

Polygamy an affront to human decency

Ever gotten a good look at the women and kids in these polygamy places? They look beaten down and they look like they’ve been brainwashed, as if it’s a good idea for these women to be made subservient to a man who is married to any number of other women.

It’s not about religion — no, it’s about human decency. These people aren’t being treated fairly as humans, no matter what they’ve been made to believe.

So if Sen. Harry Reid is saying he’s going to try to break up these groups and the bad things they do, I sure hope he’s serious about it. The women certainly look as if they’ve gone through quite a lot already, so if someone’s going to step in and do something about it, let’s get it right and give them a second chance at a good life.
