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?
