Weighing in on Big Love

I'm procrastinating only the littlest, tiniest bit. The gothic-style porn book cover blurb I'm working on (it truly sounds more fun than it is to read) can wait for the five-odd minutes it takes me to do this.

Are you familiar with Big Love?

It's a new HBO show about a polygamous family -- a man (Bill Paxton), three wives (one played by Chloe Sevigny), three houses and a pile of kids.

The show is interesting on a number of levels, though is not exactly what most would consider a high-tension offering.

My thoughts on polygamy are simple -- it should be illegals in a situation when the wives and families are unaware of each other. However, in a situation where it's an arrangement that works and is agreed upon by everyone involved... well, then, I don't see what the big effing deal is.

Of course, no one ever said they had to marry, either.

There's a lot of things in the world to be concerned about. Multiple spouses seems -- to me, anyway -- to be pretty fucking low on the list.
