Thread Name: BS: Why is sex worse than death in the US?
Subject: RE: BS: Why is sex worse than death in the US?
I know a little, having just read Under the Banner of Heaven (and recognizing almost all of the names in the news), and also having been to Colorado City and Hurricane two weeks ago. So I don't think I can share anyone's outrage. Try googling Colorado City Lost Boys and read, e.g. the Salon.com article. Texas just raised the marital age in Texas from 14 to 16 precisely because of this group's arrival. It's a terrible upheaval and trauma for these children and their largely confused moms with mitigating circumstances, but it's not about "sex," or staying out of people's bedrooms.
