My 2 Wives™

I received a very nasty message about our idea to provide a donations page on our site.  I will give you three guesses who it was from and the first two won’t count. He tried to make the argument, through excessive, crazy accusations, that we are stooping to lining our pockets just like we have accused him of doing. 

I’m quite certain that people who try to rob you have very little understanding in difference between accepting money and demanding it.

We will never require any payment for participation on our site.  It will remain free or I will quit.  Our Donations page, once it comes on line, will be purely voluntary.  There is no requirement that anyone participate.

We will also make sure that 100% of the donations page funding goes directly to advertising for the site.  Our purpose here is to promote positive awareness for the polygamous lifestyle.  It is my belief that the more people we reach, the more effective we will be.

We have advertising to pay for the site.  When you click there you support our efforts here.  When you make a donation you are supporting greater promotion within the polygamy community. 

I know it may be splitting hairs but I think we should provide a quality product with the Blog but let you support our cause as you desire. 

We have just completed a rather exhaustive investigation into polygamy and the internet and have not been able to find any sites with higher traffic numbers than ours.  That means that in just 4 short months we have become the top polygamy site on the internet.

I want to thank everyone who continues to support us and welcome all those that will follow.

While it is hardly an accolade being bestowed by a large governing body, we will stake claim to being:

“the #1 polygamy site on the internet.”

Thanks to all of your for reading.

Here’s a very interesting and I think accurate article about polygamy and where it stands from a legal point of view.  I think it’s a great read so check it out.

My son approached me about a school event he is participating in soon.  The assignment is to prepare a discussion about the problems in the USA, what are the causes and how to fix them.  Now I know this topic has nothing to do with polygamy but I thought I would share some of my thoughts with you that I shared with him.  It will either convince you that I am a genius who looks are problems from a unique perspective or a crazy fool.  Here goes:

After much thought I provided my son with a single answer which has caused the bulk of problems in this country—air conditioning.  Air Conditioning?!?!  Yes, that’s right and here’s why.  Since the advent and popular distribution of air conditioning our society has made a radical turn.

We now sequester ourselves in the confines of our homes and fail to make connections with neighbors.  As a result we turn to institutions for help instead of people we know. That gives power to government. We need mandatory home owner’s associations just to meet our neighbors–and then we still won’t go.

Speaking of power, air conditioning is responsible for rolling black outs and dramatically increases our dependency on foreign oil.  Because we stay inside, our children fail to get the kind of exercise they once got from playing outside.  Childhood obesity has shot up since the invention of air conditioning.  So has the incidence of allergies and asthma, could it be because of the high levels of toxins in our closed air conditioning homes?  I bet so.

Because we spend less time with our neighbors, crime is allowed to blossom—especially drugs.  If all you do is stay indoors you naturally start to look for new ways to pass the time—are drugs popular because all we do is stay inside?

Not only have the children gotten fat but the adults have too and that leads to diabetes and heart disease. We buy club memberships in a weak attempt to help but stay in our homes rather than go to another air conditioned building for exercise.

By staying in our homes we have given extreme power to the boob tube too.  We now worship celebrity like no time before in our history.  Our children grow up with a strange and bazaar set of principles including the desire to be famous at all costs. 

Advertisers control out thoughts and segment our tastes to the point we now have net works devoted to sports, gossip, church and cartoons.  My children have no understanding of the joy of Saturday morning cartoons because they can watch them all the time—and they do.  And many people no longer go to church but instead opt to watch on television.  Where is the social benefit from that?

Our role models are no longer doctors, firemen or other heroes but instead our children want to be rappers.  Politicians are measure by their photogenic appeal instead of stance on the issues.

Sports used to be a game but now it’s a business because of television.  The first Superbowl didn’t even sell out and now we have a full month of coverage leading up to the NFL draft day—it’s sick!

So what’s wrong with America, why are we fat, out of shape, sick, oil-dependent, celebrity-obsessed, crime-ridden, governmentally-controlled, shut-ins?  Air Conditioning, my son, air conditioning.

PS:  Guess what they have very little of in the Texas compound?  Air conditioning and have you taken a solid look at those healthy people? OK that’s a stretch to get things back to polygamy but they do look pretty healthy.

I have been wrestling with insomnia lately and I thought I would check the Blog at this very late hour.  The time stamp may or not appear on the post but in any case it will not be the correct one.  We do a lot of things around here to make sure that my identity is kept secure.

When I first started the Blog I was not very comfortable even discussing polygamy with people.  For the most part whenever I did share details about my life, I usually ended up with fewer friends and family who wanted to be around me. 

I was fine with it because I think you should accept people for who they are and not exclude people who are different.

I have been this way my entire life.  My parents had a maid when I was small.  She was a single black woman with 4 children.  She lived in a very tiny house without air conditioning and only one small bath—that she shared with three other families.

I mention her because I used get so excited about going to her house to spend the night.  Apparently, she thought it would be good for her children to be around white children so she asked if she could keep me and my sister over night.  I loved it and went back several times before we moved to another town.

I was in high school when I went to a cousin’s house in a Mexican poverty stricken border town near Texas.  She had married a Mexican national who worked as a preacher in the poorest communities.  They lived in an adobe shack with no running water or electricity.  I stayed with them for three days and soaked in all the culture I could.

I have found that the richest people are not the happiest and the poorest are not the saddest.  Joy is where you find it.  I find it in my two wives.  I wonder where you will find yours?

I know I am rambling a bit tonight but the point I’d like to make is I also find joy in writing this Blog.  Even though I am an anonymous author I still feel a connection with you, the readers.  I guess that’s why I value your comments so.

We are going to make a bigger announcement later but I think we have become the most popular polygamy internet site in the world.  We’re still working to verify whether it’s true or not.  But it won’t matter to me because I am just thankful I have the opportunity to share a piece of my life with you and you take the time to come and share with me too.

Thank you so much!

Mr. X

Here is a link to the MSNBC report.  While this is not exactly about polygamy many people believe that this will be the first step to decriminalizing it.  I thought you might like to read about it.  Mr. X
