To kick things up a bit, the next search I did was on polygamy, which I figured I would get a lot of hits for due to all the recent news about a certain polygamous sect. A lot of the blogs were people's personal blogs and they just happened to mention polygamy only once and then they went on to some other random thought. However, I eventually did come across a blog that dealt with polygamy, titled Christian or Biblical Polygamy (polygamy.joshuashouse.com). Now I actually got kind of scared at first to read the blog because I wasn't sure what to expect. I didn't know
if the writer was going to preach that polygamy was a good thing or say that it was an absolute disgrace. While there wasn't an exact statement on that issue, I did find a lot of religious quotes taken from the Bible, so I can only assume that the blog was trying to make the point that polygamy is okay. Most of the recent blogs were on the FLDS sect situation that unfolded recently and one in particular, caught my attention as the bloggers basically agreed with a news article that the sect's separation of families is causing harm. A creepy site, nonetheless, and a ton times more interesting than the previous blog I looked it, but the controversial topic does pique my interest more.

25 points. Wow, that was a bold idea to search out blogs on polygamy. I'm sure there are some passionate debates online on this topic! It does help illustrate the tendency of blogs to give voice to "silenced" points of view (including those with which we do not ourselves agree).
