I believe these fundamentalist belief systems that segregate "them" from "us" are so far from my own beliefs of tolerance and acceptance and being truly civilized.<BR/><BR/>On the other hand, an article like this about the "lost boys" while it is horrific about the boys... I must say I'm liking this "law of unexpected consequences" that in their pursuit of mulltiple wives no one was thinking about how many women vs how many men could be allowed in the community so there were enough of each gender to make this work. While this is very serious, it also makes me laugh.<BR/><BR/>ph<BR/>san francisco, ca<BR/>To read excerpts of my book, September in Corrales, a collection of short fiction, essays, poems, and photographs, please go to <A>www.cinnabarbridge.com/gallery/</A>phhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01916516716295413925noreply@blogger.com
