"If one rejects laissez faire on account of man's fallibility and moral weakness, one must for the same reason also reject every kind of government action." -Ludwig von Mises
Why exactly does the government jail polygamists, but not men who create multiple mothers? At this point in our history, who is actually the greater social criminal?
Just a thought in reply, if only to play devil's advocate... maybe because this guy had, like, 100 wives and as many kids? That's just kinda crazy to me. I don't know many of thr facts at all, but that was kind of my immediate reaction. You do have a point about the multiple mothers thing, though, I guess....
Well I didn't mean THOSE polygamists per se, just in general. The cult that's in the news right now was obviously guilty of child exploitation en masse, among other things.
