I'm aware of the perception of polygamy and its negative associations in the U.S. but I also think that it may be a case of bad apples, by which I mean that because a sect of people chose to define and practice polygamy in a dehumanizing way, it prevents all people from the option of practicing the concept constructively because they are prohibited to do so by law and social pressure. Also, there are many conventional marriages that are also abusive and yet no one seeks to ban marriage on account of those many cataloged instances of abuse.
I don't know much about FLDS, but yeah, it seems like a festering nest of some crazy.
