We were watching Sense and Sensibility last weekend and I commented to my dearly beloved that a lot of these Victorian stories have the same cast of protagonists, most commonly the "female gentlefolk fallen on hard times."
At this point my wife said something profound. She said, women back then didn't do things so much as wait for things to happen to them. They were born and then effectively waited to be married off, then waited to have children, then waited to raise them. It was a very passive existence in which other people --- mainly male people -- made all the decisions.
If you look at fundamentalist religious communities of almost any type as well as very conservative or nationalist countries overseas you see that pattern still exists. These are societies where men are supposed to "protect" women by limiting their potential to just a few socially acceptable roles of which wife and mother are the ones that are considered most important.
I confess that I don't really understand it. Why wouldn't you want your daughter to have every opportunity and to be able to pursue her dreams as far as her natural talents would take her? Wouldn't you want to share your life with someone smart, articulate and sexy rather than some 1950's (or 1750's) ideal housewife?

Poor girls have been through enough as it is, we really need a light touch here to avoid making social timebombs, if you know what I mean.

Or defuse em, yeah.
Leopard, we're not ignoring ya - we're just all kind of in agreement that Jeffs himself is sleaze beyond measure, and quite deserving of some just desserts, which the State will more than likely serve unto him quite soon.
Don't have a lot to update right now, the State has finally thought to ponder the question of abuse unto the boys, and I bet they're smackin their foreheads with a mighty "D'oh!" not having pondered that possibility before, in spite of it being rather common practice in cultures like this.
Although I do hope they have the sense to make a distinction between normal scratch and dent stuff common to young, active boys and actual abuse-related injury, that one started a flaming row between a pediatrician, my mother and me way back when cause I racked up a LOT of scratch and dent stuff going head to head with school tough guys in my day, not to mention the usual youthful insanities like jumping off the roof with a an improvised dragchute system made of four hefty bags...
But for the moment, it's mostly a paperwork drudge, and the devils of the details.

As far as any update.... today's Dallas Morning News keeps pushing the story back, (of course Miley Cyrus gets top billing), but there is an article about the problems of the Foster Care system. Looks like the Ledg will be keeping an eye on how the CPS handles the current situation.
Quote:
The addition of nearly 500 complicated cases of children swept from a polygamist ranch this month will strain Child Protective Services, experts said Tuesday. "You were seeing amazing turnover already," said Madeline McClure, executive director of TexProtects, a Dallas-based group that advocates for abused and neglected children.
She cited CPS' loss last year of nearly 40 percent of its child-abuse investigators. In the first quarter of this fiscal year, "conservatorship caseworkers," who oversee children removed from bad homes, were quitting at an annual turnover rate of 32 percent.
A leading lobbyist for foster care contractors said while CPS faces a daunting challenge in moving the sect children's cases through the courts, it caught at one break. The raid came as the state's foster child population dropped to about 17,800, said Nancy Holman, head of the Texas Alliance of Child and Family Services. That is more than 1,000 below budgeted levels.

June 2007
Commissioner Cockerell stated the legislature allocated $2.6 billion to DFPS for the biennium and noted that included in the funding are a 4.3-percent Foster Care rate increase, approximately 1,300 additional staff positions, $99 million for continued CPS reform, $4.6 million for prevention services to serve an additional 1,495 clients per month, and $11.1 million for the new post-psychiatric hospitalization step-down rate.

Best news I've heard all day folks, thanks for the headsup.
DLV, actually the attempt worked, as I was a teeny little thing and used heavy craft wire hoops to keep the ends of the bags open, but due to confiscation by the authorities (my mother) further experimentation was cancelled.

Democratic Republic, actually, which semantic differences happen to be MUCH larger than most uneducated/under educated people would assume.
Democracy - government by the people; a form of government in which the supreme power is vested in the people and exercised directly by them or by their elected agents under a free electoral system.
Democratic Republic - a form of government embodying democratic principles and where a monarch is not the head of state.
We happen to be both a Democracy and a Republic.

The ancient Greeks were just a democracy. Then they started pukeing all over the place and had lots of unbridled butt-love right before they fell. Actually.... when put that way, maybe we're not so different from the ancient Greeks afterall. Only time will tell....

More horror stories from the Cult of Pedopheilia.......
31 underage pregnancies by rape
41 children with broken bones, the youngest being 2 yrs. old...a testiment to the horrendous physical abuse going on there
boys slowly coming around after separation from their tormentors and testifying that they too were sexually abused & raped.
I don't care if the Texas Foster Care is not perfect. It's the best thing for these kids right now. They will NEVER go back to that compound of hell again, and very likely never see their "parents" again. In the coming weeks there will be mass arrests of both the abusing men and the "batterred-wife-syndrome" zombie wives who provided enablement and structure for these vile acts.
