My article? If so you must be charging me with knowing nothing about America beyond what I've seen on Jerry Springer. Is that the point you're making? Can you inform as to just why you hold that opinion about me? After all I said nothing about America, but simply used a story from Jerry Springer to raise a point of discussion about inter-species marriage. Please clarify. S Greg:

Is that really a great idea. There are very serious problems with polygamy in Utah, for example Warren Jeffs who is in the news this week on his second trial.
