  • This a Cat and her newborn kittens a few days before her kitchen exploded taking a large chunk of house with it. Do you ever wonder about the people our TV's leave behind? The Neo Nazi's are rising in Europe. We rush to blame Muslims.The police decreed it a gas leak--perhaps so. If we turn away from the main fact--the rise of Racism and fanatisism in Europe, who will suffer most?


    Mormon, I think of the Tapestry/Larry King documentaries--repeated 3 times on weekend prime time. About a false steward who needed deposing,
    a daughter who needed to bring a suit against her father for sexual
    abuse, and rural girls who desperatly needed a boarding house in town.
    My mother met my father in such a boarding house. She was Elaine
    Cannon's, the Deseret News Women's Columnist's Secretary.

    A friend of mine, then Peggy Fletcher, the editor of Sunstone, lived in one. To conserve funds for the magazine, she lived in a tiny garret with a fire escape which friends used when visiting her. That these girls needed a town place to live, with the usual housemother was not worth dumping our unfamiliar culture on a unsuspecting public.


    A Pennsylvania man mistook them for Amish and there was a mass killing by the time I got to TV on monday morning. A Utah fifth grader could have done more research in an Evening than was done in preparation for this interview. I know of no law against the religious     practice of Polygamy outside the states where it is practiced in this way.

    It should be possible for the Amish families to sue the network and win--how much for the loss of 5 daughters.
