The penthouse may thing may be the truth. Don't really know, don't
really care.

Actually, it is very illegal to have multiple wives in Utah. The US Gov
ernment made Utah outlaw it (I believe in the Utah constitution) in
order for Utah to gain state-hood. I do not know why Utah doesn't
prosecute more of the polygamists, but they have been prosecuting some.
Many on child abuse, incest, and other charges as well. I was once
told they don't prosecute more because it was hard to make the charge of
polygamy stick if it was the only charge. As for the Mormons, they
excommunicate (kick out) those who are caught practicing.

Please, refer to the message from Eric Andersen for the section of the
Utah Constitution referring to polygamy. Refer to LDS Official
Declaration #1 (might be available on lds.org) for the 'Mormons' stance
on polygamy.

And why do messages that have nothing to do with linux or related
matters appear on LKM?
