By definition, are polygamous Mormon ancestors bastards?

The early laws of the land did not legally recognize any extra wives or marriages of the early polygamous Mormons.

Therefore, according to definition, the offspring of said illegitimate sexual relationships are called bastards.

By show of hand, who here are descendants of Mormon bastards?

Steve Young's great-great-great grandmother was a bastard, no?

Mitt Romney is also the product of a bastard descendant, no?

Anyone else?

To make this fair, by definition, I am a bastard since my parents were never married. I was adopted to a moron, errr Mormon family who did not have polygamist bastard ancestors.

This is the second or third time you have started a thread on this topic.

But to answer your stupid question the answer is no.

But you certainly can be a bastard. ;-)
