This story about half of the cops in one small town in Utah are polygamists made me laugh because once again, it shows the internal contradictions of modern liberal America. The worst that these cops can be charged with is illegally having two or more marriage licenses and having sex with teenage girls (who, ironically enough, are probably old enough to executed as adults should they ever kill someone in cold blood). Really, the polygamy angle is just not that big of a deal unless you look at it from a matter of religious morality, and even there polygamy itself is not particularly morally wrong.
Really, the way to go here if you are going to practice polygyny or polyandry is to find a sympathetic pastor or priest and get them to do an unlicensed marriage ceremony with someone who is at least 18 years of age. Society only seems to get upset when marriages and licenses are at issue, not when a guy decides to shack up with several women at once outside of marriage. Consistency is, after all, not something that modern liberal America is known for in explaining how things ought to be done.
