I didn't know that until now there are still people who live such an old-school lifestyle. Yes, I know there are still indigenous people somewhere in the corners of the earth. But in the United States, a place of technology and advancement? Cuh-razy.
It felt like watching a period movie like Little Women and Pride and Prejudice. Seriously, I saw this in class when our professor made us watch a taped episode of Good Morning, America and we were all shocked to see how outrageous this thing seem. Haven't heard the news lately? Visit this site in case you're lost.
Children were taken from a polygamist house in Texas because of alleged physical abuse. Can you imagine, being brainwashed, stirring up your way of thinking about life and being a mother at the age of 13? Imagine a sixteen year old girl marrying a fifty year old DOM. It sure sounds gross. How could they ever live such lifestyle? I feel like they're stuck in time while all others leave them behind. Check those clothes and hair. I can never imagine myself being in a place like that.
You think they should still continue living this life? Win their battle for the custody of their children? Or just escape from the ranch?
Although I do believe it will be hard for the wives and children, I think it will be much better to escape from the ranch and live their own lives instead. I don't think they will be able to experience the beauty of life if they choose to stay in the polygamist house which is a far isolated closed surrounding.
What do you think?
---I bought Paramore's Riot today. I know it's a little late but I recommend you listen to it now. My apple's got pimped too! Shopping online is so sweet! Back to school tomorrow.
Today, I realized how dramatically disorganized my stuff are. I wish I had some OC-ness too so I could keep a neat and dainty room as much as possible.
I hope you get a good week! :)

Stuck in Time

Yes, stuck in time.
And the 68% of the population of the united states think that we came from 'god's powers'.
Very 'advanced', if you start thinking that this theory, according to the bible, started at ~30AC.
When I heard that news I was like "WTF is that for real?!" And sadly it is.
Also, is Riot any good?
(Got here through Comicology btw)
I am getting addicted with Riot, just as I was with All We Know is Falling. :)
