Yeah, I wouldn't say that I'm "ok" with the spying, but I'm certainly not "shocked" or "awed" or find it "completely unfathomable" that it happens.
Personally, my current sticking point is my taxation without representation. I'm taxed income tax in the city I work in, and they do not refund income tax. So. You take my money, and keep my money, and only allow me to claim a % of it as a credit on my city's income tax.
Fine. Where do I register to vote within this municipality? If I'm going to be taxed in it, I should have a say in how it is spent, and who decides how it is spent.
But back to the topic at hand, while I can see the ideology of polygamy being bad for the lower class, I still don't have a huge problem with it. But at this point, my lack of care regarding it, stems from it mainly being restricted to a small subset of the religious culture.
