cool... wasnt there a euthanist (CoE - "save the world kill yourself") on this list who was on the springer show? this was around a year ago...

another question: i realize there is definately a cultural meme against multiple marriages... but what exactly is the base for it? there are religious groups that supported multiple marriages (mormons) and there are many multiple marriages in the bible.... so what is origin of multiple marriage memes?
