Re: Whoa! Polygamist solution is frightening...
I don't think we should stand by and allow children to be abused simply because we're afraid our own rights will be immediately or eventually infringed.
Religious freedom: Yes. Freedom to commit crimes: No.
The right thing to do, if polygamy is what they want to practice, would be to press legislation to legalize it.
