People in British Columbia are taking an interest in the raid on the ranch of a fundamentalist sect of the Mormon Church in Texas. The polygamist community of Bountiful in British Columbia follows similar practices.
The practice of polygamy is found in a number of societies. It has worked and is part of successful cultures. If the rules are followed, they appear to work out well. In fact, in our own society there are those who have multiple partners. They usually have those partners one after the other. That has happened since divorce became legal. The sin in the eyes of society seems to be having more than one partner at the same time.
