Federal judge: Most traditional marriage has been polygamy. Records: Swallow aide tried to cover up deals with Johnson. Huntsman Sr. interested in buying The Tribune.
Happy Monday. A federal judge struck down Wisconsin's gay marriage ban, saying that state officials need to learn a few things about the history of marriage, i.e. that plural marriage is actually more traditional over time. "As an initial matter, defendants and amici have overstated their argument," wrote Judge Barbara Crabb. "Throughout history, the most 'traditional' form of marriage has not been between one man and one woman, but between one man and multiple women, which presumably is not a tradition that defendants and amici would like to continue."
Topping the news: New records show an aide to John Swallow trying to cover-up the backhand deals with Jeremy Johnson. [Trib]
-> Jon Huntsman Sr. said he might be interested in purchasing The Salt Lake Tribune in the future because he believes the valley needs at least two newspapers but that the Justice Department has put a hold on any negotiations. [Trib] [DNews] [Fox13](continued)

Dear Judge,
There is a LAW against polygamy.
You are sworn to uphold the LAW.
As for homosexuality, I believe it has always been practiced by anyone strong enough to overcome or entice (bribe) someone smaller and weaker.The wealthy indulged it more because, as ever, they could afford excess in whims, pleasures, etc.
That was and still is a tribal way of life in many cultures. There is one (or more) Asian cultures where women take more than one husband. Perhaps it is economic and it takes more than one to provide for a family.
The Biblical order for us is that a man take a woman and the "two become one flesh". The modern version is the "two become one flesh" until someone decides that 3 or more become one flesh, which pretty much dilutes the equation; decides to split, or just goes off "to find himself or herself."

There’s that horrible TV show on TLC or something like that called Sister Wives, about several woman married to one man
...yeah, Sister wives is pretty bad, but compared to the rest of TLC’s lineup, it’s relatively high class...’Say Yes to the Dress’ ranks at the top of my loathe list...
