In "A Deafening Silence" I discussed the unusually low amount of support rank-and-file Christians seem to have for outlawing homosexual marriages. While state initiatives in Missouri and Louisiana have overwhelmingly trounced the idea, US Congressmen are not hearing much from their constituents on the matter.
Now, USA Today has weighed in on the subject, or at least, weighed in on one aspect of the subject. The October 4, 2004 issue saw an article by Jonathan Turley, Shapiro Professor of Public Interest Law at George Washington Law School, in which he defended the idea that polygamy, polyandry and group marriage would soon have to be legalized.
I hear the sound of a million foreheads banging against a million computer screens.
One wife can be enough work....I don't see why anyone would want more than that. (and I'm sure my wife see's things similarly from her side of the equation)
A state cannot be required to recognize those unions, but a state can be stopped from prosecuting polygamists and others. This is how it's working out in the Utah vs Green case.
heheheheh.
LOL!
True.
Besides, who'd want to share someone's affections anyway?
*groans*
LOL!
I want plantagomy
