		<description><![CDATA[In 2004 an article in USA Today raised a question about whether modern polygamy law exposes our hypocrisy. In that article Jonathan Turley writes, &#8220;For polygamists, it is simply a matter of unequal treatment under the law. Individuals have a recognized constitutional right to engage in any form of consensual sexual relationship with any number [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When does the absence of submission double its meaning? I learned something this week that has carried with me into the weekend.
