Look at pictures of pligamous women. Seldom will you see them smiling. For the most part, their lives are very sad. "BE SWEET" they are told. It is NOT a good life for young girls.
Pictures of polygamous women, hmmm... I guess if I was gaped at as if I was some animal in a zoo, I would choose not to smile too. Why smile if the media intrudes on your personal life ? You know they are not taking your picture because they approve of what you are doing, but because they are hoping for a "shocking" story.
I wonder what this anonymous commentator would consider a good life for young girls... to hang out at the mall, date boys, watch television, go to school ? Is that the hight of happiness for a young girl these days ?
Grace and Peace,
Talitha
