# POLYGAMY NOW: A decade ago, Stephen Butt says he was happily married, busy
with his church & working as a cult exit counselor in Maine. His work with
a young woman who had been abused by a cult took an unexpected turn. She
became his wife. Now Butt lives in Utah with 3 wives & 5 kids, ministering
to nearly 1,000 people around the country who call themselves Christian
polygamists. http://news.excite.com/news/ap/000113/12/religion-today

bands/wives? Do you prefer polygamy or monotony? Are y'r deities polygamous?

# Artist Wants Nudes to Line Historic Street. DUBLIN (Reuters) An American

were the first American, would you've come voluntarily, or were you forced?
