Texas vs. B.C.

I just read this story about the police in El Dorado, Texas rescuing 137 children, most of them girls, from a polygamist colony.

I couldn't resist submitting the following letter to the Vancouver Sun:

News Item: "137 children removed from polygamist ranch in Texas"

Think we'll ever see something similar in Bountiful, B.C.? Perhaps when pigs learn to fly.

After all, we can't let ourselves become like those "terrible" Americans, can we? Just imagine the audacity of the law enforcement officials down there freeing children from the clutches of warped men. Best we leave such children in our own province alone. Doing otherwise would be very un-Canadian, wouldn't it?!
