This blog, The Independent Party Blog is really fascinating because it shows a completely unexpected point of view of today's government and society. The format of this blog is really out of the ordinary because of it's layout; it has columns going down and a picture as the header. Each entry starts with Dear members of the independent party.. I think that the way the blog is designed gives it a more modern feel, representing the independent party.
This blog was a lot different from the other blogs that I have browsed through. This one focused on putting out a message that would reach people who have an alternative opinion on government and the way things are run in the United States. Other blogs that I have read have been a lot shorter and seemed to trail off topic compared to this one.
The most recent entry on this blog talks about polygamy from what it is to why it is practiced. The writer of this blog compares polygamy to divorce, divorce does not make society better, in yet it is still legal while polygamy is not. The entry also has links to other blogs that show the benefits of being in a polygamist relationship and how it is highly prevalent in Africa.
I believe that polygamy should be legal, as long as it is not forced. I've seen a lot of different things on the news about how teenage girls were brainwashed into marrying and bearing children of these older men, which seemed outrageous to me. I believe that if it is someones culture to have multiple spouses, then it should be legal.

Hey Brianna! I like the issue you came across. Other than all the other news going on these days, you seem to forget about the little ones, but very important ones.
Sorry, I didn't have time to finish that comment.
Anyways, I do not know if I agree with you. I am an advocate for people having free will. I think people should be able to practice any cultural and religious methods they believe in, as long as it does not hurt or threaten others.
However, this world kind of scares me. Inevitably, people will believe what they have grown to believe even if their culture is developed upon outrageous beliefs and traditions. I think polygamy is outrageous. I think it degrades women and it creates an abnormal atmosphere that children should not grow up in.
I do not think the government has the right to tell these people that they can not practice what they believe. But, I do not think polygamy is right. And, we can never be sure that these polygamist do not hold a threat against society and their own culture.
