Based on their location, I'm sure they've got some pretty serious mind-altering goodies.

Okay, so we've taken pictures of people living "simple" life. Whoopy.

Now, we need to leave them alone and let them continue to live the way they've been doing.

With that attitude, we should all leave america giving our country back to the native americans.
Past is past. This is present. I can't change the past, but I can hope that the rest of the world will leave this tribe alone.

While its amazing that individuals in the world still have not come into contact with "civilization", I find it more amazing that the same individuals who criticize communities like the FLDS are so quick to point out that we should leave these people alone. Yes, I understand they dont live in the USA, but what if they did? Wouldnt the government would be raiding their community taking their children, using cruel living conditions for the children as justification?

Well, some of us do not feel the FLDS scenario was handled correctly. Some of us don't criticize others for not wanting a technology-savvy lifestyle..

Some of us don't really care how the rest of the world wants to live.

Don't worry you have made your point crystal clear and you have them cornered!

Working off your point... my opinion on the OP that if this was happening in my country I wouldn't "just leave them alone". Why should we have to treat them like some carnival attraction and what makes them so much more special that we can't contact them?
