What do you think that the mainstream LDS Church can do any place that they aren't already doing?
I keep meaning to order Under the Banner of Heaven since I'm a Krakauer fan and maybe that will break it down for me, but I don't have a great sense of their current complicity in polygamy and child abuse.
And I think we have to remember to be careful with how we respond to religious fundamentalists with compounds. The whole Branch Davidians thing didn't go down so well.
It's one thing to feel like we should have done more to protect people after we find out about the abuse, but how much, in general, do you think the American public and Constitution support policing people's homes and private property as a preventative measure?
How would you do it? Hey, you're a sect of Mormonism so we're going to come in twice a month? Hey, you're a Catholic priest, so you can't be around kids? Hey, you're a follower of Islam, so we're going to take over your daughter's health care in case you were interested in female circumcision?
