It was reported, that Green, polygamist from Utah, was sentenced to 5
years in jail for having 5 wives.  The reporter called polygamy
bizarre and revolting custom.  I remember time, when homosexuality was
a crime and was called bizarre and revolting.  Is not it time for us
to grow up and to understand a simple thing, that there can be no
crime without a victim?  No matter, how revolting some actions might
look, government has no business intervening in the relationships
between two or more consenting adults.

Who benefits from Green's incarceration?  Nobody.  None of Utah
polygamists will stop their lifestyle.  Nobody will prosecute them, as
long as they keep quiet (reminds me of Soviet Union: Green was
persecuted, because he was vocal about his lifestyle).  Enormous harm
is done to his children, who are deprived of their father.  Taxpayer
will have to support him in jail, and his 5 wives, and 29 children. 
Stupidity at its best.

Majority of men are not capable to live in peace with just one wife;
Green has managed to live in peace with five.  We should applaud him
and ask for advice.

In order to emphasize absurdity of the situation, imagine a slightly
different one: six lesbians are living together in a polygamous
relationship.  They have 29 children, conceived, using in-vitro
fertilisation.  Would any of them be prosecuted for polygamy, and if
yes, which one?  Or should all six be prosecuted?  The same question
can be asked about 3 or more homosexuals living together in polygamy.
