Polygamy is a facet of barbarism best left in the Third World.

But polygamy can be pushed, based on the idea that “consenting adults” want to live their lives that way.

I wonder what the end game will be, and if I will live long enough to see it.

Now that we have normalized homosexual marriage, the next steps would seem to be some form of plural marriage.

I’ve heard that some LGBT types want to eventually see groups marriage, with any number of partners, any sex of the participating partners.

It might be beneficial if eventually the governmental entities, whether state government or federal government, simply get out of defining marriage, or providing any legal status to marriage at all. If the liberal judges are eventually going to force us all to recognize bizarre marriage and family structures, all in the name of “equality” and “fairness” and all that, we might just want to vote “no” and say there will no longer be marital status defined by government at all.

“Polygamy is a facet of barbarism best left in the Third World.”

Yet our society has no problem rationalizing serial polygamy where a man or woman can have multiple spouses with whom they’ve had children. No one cares if a man has eight wives they only care if he has eight wives at one time.

Pardon me, but what’s really the difference here?
