This isn't even vaguely related to anything you posted on, but I really feel like it's an important current event: Raid on FLDS ranch yesterday (http://www.sltrib.com/News/ci_8859786). Something like...419 children are now in custody of the state. It's a really chilling story. I don't know if you've heard of FLDS, but it's a crazy ass polygamist cult that marries 14 year old girls to 50 year olds (as most polygamist cults do) and expel most of their young men onto the streets. Their leader, Warren Jeffs is standing trial as an accomplice to the rape of a fourteen year old and sexual exploitation. He's been on the FBI's 10 Most Wanted list for a year.
Also: The Jezebel community has some really interesting commentary on it (http://jezebel.com/377740/your-nagging-ancient-mormon-underage-sex-cult-questions-answered-at-last)
I guess people are scared that this sect, the Yearning for Zion Ranch, could turn into another Waco or Jonestown.

In other news, Uwe Boll is a douche.
