Definitely agreed re: the FLDS and their ilk. I think nationally speaking, we're unfortunately still in a frame of mind wherein it's simply not polite to criticize the religious practices of others, no matter how awful they are. As former Nixon speechwriter Kevin Phillips says in _American Theocracy_ (a book I can't recommend enouch), this kind of perspective is becoming an increasingly dangerous indulgence.
