Alpha-Chicks

I read a blog-post today from one of Canada's premiere polygamy-haters.  The writer oversees an entity called "Stop Polygamy In Canada". In her post, the writer reports:

"My observation: After seeing videos from those harmed by polygamy, hearing and reading about testimonies given in court, and having been personally attacked on various blogs by fundamentalist Mormon women and men, even having been compared to Hitler and Nazism because I was accused of saying I wanted polygamists eradicated when, in fact, I said I wanted the practice of polygamy eradicated in Canada, I just happened to run into Mary Bachelor [sic] at the foot of the stairs as I was leaving court and I told her how I felt. She denied having done or said any of the above, but she is part and parcel of a group of Alpha females who enjoy polygamy simply because of their privileged status in their marriages."

I'm confused about a couple of things.  First, an observant bystander told me yesterday that the writer actually stormed over to Ms. Batchelor and called her out and accused her of claiming that she (the writer) was endeavoring to eradicate polygamists.  Whether or not the witness actually ever alleged such a thing, I am struggling to see the difference between eradicating polygamy (cultural genocide) and eradicating polygamists (genocide).

You see, if Ms. Marisca were to have been successful in eradicating MY polygamy, she would have been able to eradicate the 19 offspring from three of my plural wives.  They would not have been around to play softball, piano, guitar, XBox - or even to marry and have children of their own. 

I would like to "eradicate" abortion but, in order to accomplish it, I would have to eradicate abortion doctors.  I would have to "get in the face" of every girl or woman who is contemplating abortion.  I would have to use force and impede the free agency of other people - all things which I would not do, because curtailing the free agency of others is devilish and wrong.

Ms. Malishka can say all she wants about not wanting to "eradicate polygamists", but she clearly wants them to stop or go away.  Another bitter, craven hater once said, "I cannot rest until they stop doing polygamy."  My guess is that she, too, is missing out on a lot of rest.  God has a way of righting all wrongs, but perhaps not until the next phase of life.  It is His job to balance the scales of justice and exact vengeance - not ours.

One more thing - Ms. Maschlitska has floated the rather novel idea that the two independent fundamentalist Mormon witnesses (at the BC trial this week) are actually "Alpha-Females".  Does this mean that, rather than being subjugated, downtrodden, enslaved, beleaguered, marginalized, suppressed, demeaned and cowed, these two evidently sweet and beautiful women are empowered, capable, forthright, independent, self-assured, confident, free-thinking, emancipated and strong ??? - - - because, if Ms. Mischlockska is right, then this whole phony manufactured myth about all polygamous women being disenfranchised, human-rights victims is a big bucket of horse doo-doo.  That's the thing - when you fall prey to the polygamy-hating-eradicating-delirium, it can sometimes get too hard to keep your story straight.

I just wish I had a couple more Alpha-Female-Chicks like that in my family.  I'm already outnumbered and out-voted, so what's the big deal?
