I find daily new things that my mother never warned me about. Today has been truly enlightening. For a month or two I have been amazed at the ads for the TV show about the guy who is married to three women and in the show he took on another wife.
I can't say this is shocking. I heard about Warren Jett a long time ago, and the Mormon groups that practice multiple marriage. I thought it was illegal for people to engage in polygamy. When did they change the law?
I have never watched the show. I suppose it is prejudiced to make up my mind about it without even watching it, but the idea is offensive to me and I don't choose to watch it. I think the idea is contrary to the customs and practice of married life in the United States. Why is media and television so intent on trying to promote ideas that are offensive, illegal, and otherwise, unwholesome?
Of course there are lots of things that are unwholesome and disgusting on TV and the Internet. There is porn and Satan worship, and that is just the beginning. Somehow, porn and Satan worship try to keep out of the spotlight, but there are other things that are blatantly offensive that are scrambling for the spotlight.
Besides being offensive, I find this is be destructive to our stability as a society. Of course, most of what is going on in the world is destructive to society. Terrorism, child abuse, pornography, mob killings, cholesterol, and high sugar content are all threats to our way of life.
I find it funny that everybody is trying to keep kids safe without scaring them. How dumb! We need to scare them, but that is tomorrow's post.
