Polygamy itself is not the problem. The problem is women and children being forced to live a lifestyle that is unhealthy and unsafe.

If consenting adults choose to have multiple sexual partners and live together, fine.

When this involves isolating children from society and forcing young girls to have sex with old men - this crosses the line. We have a duty as a society to protect the young who cannot defend themselves.

The cleanliness of the environment is beneficial to all of us - it's not some ploy by environmentalists to "shut down" anything. It's a MAJOR concern to our health and that of our children.

Too bad it took McClellan so long to discover what those of us outside the administration figured out a long time ago. Better late than never.

Ms. Olds is naive to suggest that Obama's supporters are only people under 30 - there is no way he could have had the successful campaign that he has if only "those under 30" were supporting him.
