i realize your coments were in jest. but heres something u may or may not know : - Muslim men are typically allowed upto 4 wives. There is a caveat : If they can not treat all 4 with equal respect/attention/whatever, they are not permitted.

Oh, I see Lorne, it's freedom to be like you. That's how they do it in other countries too. I was looking for actual freedom. It's a peculiar and unusual state where individuals use their own heads to decide for themselves what they want to do. The age of consent in Holland is 12. Now I see why the USA and Saudi Arabia are such good friends - both are repressive societies... except they allow polygamy, so Saudi Arabia is a freer society than the USA. If you see that Freedom mythological beast, please tell me. Maybe it's hiding out with the Yeti, Abominable Snowman, Loch Ness Monster, Flying Saucers or the ever-elusive Weapons of Mass Destruction [which I heard can be found for sure in France, which is a known terrorist state, China, India, Pakistan, Britain, Russia, Israel and even that harbinger of freedom to do as we say, the USA.
