62. I'm thinking about putting polygamy in the title of all my OPs

As per my earlier post today, and even attempted bump, DU doesn't give a frak about public defenders, civil rights for the poor in an over-birdened fee-and-fine supported court system, remedies for longterm unemployment, the ongoing inattention to the collapse of the welfare infrastructure from all political representatives and Primary candidates, and American practices that amount to torture such as keeping a person in prison for 3 years who hasn't been charged so that they commit suicide when they finally get out.

There is serious, heavy stuff going on at the poorest levels of American society. Yet it seems the heavier the situation, themore overtly people look away. Even if the OP is offering a solution.

Yep, should have put "polygamy" in the title. If poor people were resorting to polygamy to survive (which quite a few probably do in major urban areas) then someone might have an opinion about that!
