This is where the law may have to step in and it will be unfortunate for this family if it happens. Profiting off of a illegal activity is a good way to catch the attention of Law Enforcement.
The excuse is rediculous. It would be like me saying that the Pachinko place down the street from where I live doesnt promote gambling but just raises the curtain on the subject.
They better not advertise too much or they will be creating a showdown that they really don't want or maybe they do...

It seems to me that these groups feel they are so much 'out there' already and possibly even under scrutiny by the law that the best thing they can do with all the negativity is desensitize the public about it. I don't know that I would actually take a 'tour' just to see a family though, there must be something more to it. Will this help America become more accepting of Polygamy - I doubt, but like you said - sorry for the family if the law steps in, more so sorry for the children.
I wouldnt say that they are really out there...it is more like "don't ask...don't tell". Everyone knows that they are there, but it is not discussed. Therefore, the law enforcement doesnt have to take any action because there is no complaints or real information flowing about the area.
I will say one thing...they better be paying their taxes on that money. While the regular law enforcement might turn a blind eye...the IRS could care less and will step in.

Comments: I don't get this. What are you going to see different that you don't see in any other family? Maybe more rooms, a couple more women in the kitchen and then what? Not very entertaining to me.
