Texas town worried by polygamist
5/22/07

LOCKNEY, Texas - Samuel Fischer would appear to be just what this withering Texas Panhandle town needs.
A successful cabinet maker with a thriving business in Utah, he hopes to move the operation here, bringing with it as many as 100 jobs and perhaps eventually an influx of residents.
Many here, however, say Fischer is no godsend, and the economic boost he could provide their town of about 2,000 is not worth the cost.
Fischer is a polygamist, a member of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, a renegade offshoot of the Mormon Church. The sect's leader, Warren Jeffs, is awaiting trial on charges he arranged marriages between men and underage girls.

I couldn't stay married to one woman, I can't imagine a guy being married to more than one.

Some men think it would be double the pleasure to be married to more than one woman at a time. These men have probably not been married. Last thing I want is hearing the nagging about the law needing mowed, the car needing fixed etc in stereo, or worse, 7:1 suuround sound
