Seriously, I've just watched a couple of days worth of coverage and my question is where are the men?
I've only seen wives interviewed, and some of the speech patterns and body language are nearly scary. Very robotic. Rehearsed? Staged?

I guess everyone is starting to ask that question. They were talking to some of the men on the Today Show and asked.

One can't help but notice that many of the people look odd...and I'm not talking about the clothes and hair.

There's something about their faces that's odd. It's like they age 10x faster than us. The way they talk is creeping me out too, like they're all on an acid trip.

Are the foster homes going to be safe? How many times do we hear foster children tell the horrors of abuse in foster homes? Hope it is not the case, but have to wonder if these children are the pawns of super aggressive do gooders who have been itching to 'safe' these children. Watching the mothers on tv, they are different from me, but I don't know that they are unfit. I am not into plural marriage, but I also am not willing to take 400+ children and put them into a system that is so broken.
