"Anyone else notice how much polygamy and the LDS has been in the news of late?"

Now that gay marriage has it's toe in the door, the rest of the alternative lifestyles are trying to legitimize their own brands of deviance....

That's my opinion of all this, too.

Anyone else heard that in two weeks, the HBO Network has a show about polygamy coming out called Big Love, starring Bill Paxton? From the show's promo material:

Paxton plays Bill Henrickson, an upright, fortysomething business- and family man. Actually, he's a three-family man; a member of a Mormon Church offshoot that condones polygamy. The result: three wives and seven kids.

And some of us conservatives were shunned for advocating against divorce on demand. Truely a matter of degrees. Is it any less disgraceful to cohabitate without marriage, than to marry and divorce multiple times? Further, is an economic disincentive for divorce more effective than a social stigma? It would seem to me that the absence of social condemnation has caused a proliferation of divorce and infidelity (in the true sense)
