Court Upbraids Texas Over Polygamists

A Texas appeals court ruled that the state had no business taking more than 400 children from a polygamist compound outside of San Angelo. What do you think?

Young Man

Chuck Gilberto,
Systems Analyst
"It's just nobody's business what polygamists do behind closed compound walls."

Old Woman

Astrid Patch,
Grocer
"That's too bad. The children who'd been removed from the compound were just getting used to iPods and the Internet and not getting raped."

Old Man

Karl Hayes,
Satellite TV Installer
"The same thing happened to me but with fireworks. Can I get those back, too?"
