Texas child protective authorities have seized more than 400 children for fear the girls have been pressured into sleeping with older men. I'm shocked, shocked. Since when is intergenerational sex news? Half the rich old men in the country are sleeping with women half their age. Texas authorities also say the men have multiple wives and that's illegal. Well, the men don't have multiple wives by any legal definition. Certainly no papers on file at the courthouse show anyone with more than one wife.
"That might be true," authorities would argue, "but they have multiple wives under their religion."
But so what? No one recognizes that kind of marriage, which has absolutely no legal authority anywhere and confers no rights on anyone. Furthermore, who gives a flying leap if people want to think they're married when legally they are not. "But don't you see," authorities would argue then. "These guys are screwing their brains out with ten different women."
Well, I don't know why anyone cares about that. I just read in the paper that the late Ray Charles had 12 kids by ten women. If it's a crime to get multiple women pregnant when you're not married to them, how come no one arrested him?
