I have just blogged my xanga and am preparing to get my other blogs blogged. Since I use the net to post works in progress and am also ill, I hope the double access will allow me to resurface after a flare with less chaos, since all Blogs are shown on the same page. With more professional writers writing, I hope for better peer support and a means of peer review.

If you are young, you will probably enjoy Xanga more, since the majority of bloggers are young. If you have a mentoring or parenting streak, you may enjoy Xanga. It is primarily a social-networking blog with many poets aboard, while Blogged is more oriented for peer review.

There is no need to choose. You can put a kind of sticker on your original site that will link your IP to your Blogged site, let you keep your friends, blogrings, etc.

Polygamy
Mountain Meadows Massacre

Since I have summered in Utah, accepting Polygamy as just one varient of Mormonism, I was saddened by the Militaristic raid and the trauma to young children, the brutal taking of unweaned children without letting their mothers accompiany them, the taking of children under 5 was also inexcusable. The notion that these women would have covered up serious abuse going on accounts that were ten or more years old was, in my opinion, vindictive.

All cultural groups in Utah need a multicultural women's shelter but the raid and spin did not make this more possible.

The '52-3 raid was the year I was born. I had two friends whose mothers, I suspect, were married, not divorced. It is common for Ranchers to maintain a town house near Church and School and have them move there after haying.

I have not watched Larry King since he ran the Tapestry show three nights in a row. What was the Emergency.

President Hinkley was a journalist, accustomed to PR, and the Mountain Meadows and Polygamy PR took a lot out of him. I think he wanted to open the can of worms himself.

Hinkley's in general have a flexibility and loving trickster quality, and I found the stamp in Hinkley's work. Did he really condemn Polygamy on national TV. Yes, but with a Do you believe me?Coyote grin on his face. The Church has to advocate abiding by the law, because it has always existed in many countries with conflicting laws and sometimes brutal penalties.

If the Constitution of the State was amended and there were no new obstacle, Mormons in Utah would prefer to make their own religious decisions without compulsion. This would only effect Mormons in traditionally polygamous families and regions, and it would effect American Indians which, according to the 1890 Census, practiced polygamy, or polyandry [More than one husband, Eskimo.] in every tribal group.

I do not believe that anywhere, the majority has practiced polygamy. There are towns of this type, but with government persecution, families gradually merge intothe general population. I personally believe the law is unconstitutional and that all such laws should be struck down. We retain our Freedom of Religion through the Separation of Church and State.

I have a Blogger site. For Mountain Meadows material, start in the archives from the bottom up, For pictures of the raid, and videos on Eugenics go to the top.

I've taken a month's vacation.

The material came from my Grandfather, whose father was Bishop of Cedar City from1902 for about 25 years. He ran the mill until he developed a disease commonly associated with milling, and with breathing pulverized rodent feces in the air. It was closely related to Cotton Lung but more complex, because the wheat flower drew more rodents. Miller's Disease, Cotton Lung, and smoking related diseases are similar, in that they coat the lungs and make oxygen absorption similar.

Can such family tradition be cited?
