There's a solution for everything
Best headline ever:
Tired of commuting, 4 teachers marry driver.
PS: On reading the article, as opposed to just the headline, I realise that I should have curtailed my amusement. The five people concerned all seem to have weighed up the costs and benefits of their actions and made utterly rational decisions. Viewed in context, it isn't funny at all, but sensible.
And here's a question that strikes me: do you believe polygamy is wrong? If all the parties concerned enter a polygamous arrangement of their own free will, hurting no one else in the process, why would you say it's wrong?
