Its starting!

And so...it begins.

And so the slide down the slippery slope begins.

Of course it's starting. Next, I really do believe that someone is going to sue to be able to marry an animal.

I just got back from a largely Muslim area overseas, and apparently the practice of having multiple wives isn't terribly common. It's mostly for the rich guys, and often they keep them in separate houses or towns, occasionally even in different countries.

I can't imagine why anyone would want to do that in the States. It workes in places where women basically have no rights, in places where you can end a marriage by saying 'I divorce you' three times, and kick her out. Having multiple wives here would be just asking to get mauled in divorce court.

"It's starting." Are you saying the sky is falling?

I doubt such. I am not defending the supreme court, but it only ruled that what two adult people did in private could not be a crime. It did not rule that what six adults did in private could not be a crime. (At some point, enough people in a room has to mean that something is no longer private). Second, it said nothing about what two or six people did in public not being a crime. To be "married" one has to do something in public, it seems to me.

Any way, I wish government truly would defend marriage, such as providing greater tax deductions for married families with children

I tend to think polygamy would be better (esp considering the high number of children) for the overall health of families than gay marriage.

By the way, how can those who advocate gay marriage abhor polygamy (and they say they do)? Doesn't their much used slogan "different strokes for different folks" come in to play here as well?

[narses]

Ping.

We don't need a marrige amendment. We need legislation to reign in judges.

It's no different for polygamists, argued Tom Green's attorney

Of course not. Polygamy is far more natural than sodomy. Just read the Old Testament. I'd like to hear the rationalization for ruling against polygamy.

Sounds like he went to Bring-em-young University.

[Rutles4Ever]

LOL!!!! All I can do is issue a hearty chuckle. What was it, two weeks? I predicted here that every lawyer for every bigamist/polygamist would be hurriedly crafting their motions for the immediate reversal of their convictions.

I don't think even the Democrats want to be on this runaway coal train. I fully expect that if the GOP presses for a constitutional convention, the Dems will be forced to go along. The gay/bigamist voting block is just not big enough to trade for the Excedrine headache they're about to get slapped with. They'll ask for working to the effect that "two people" can be considered married, but they will be drowning in their own pre-election polling when they discover that nearly 70% of Americans are against gay marriage all together.
