"Most people in the poly community are very closeted," Justen Bennett-MacCubbin, founder of Polyamorous NYC, told The Observer. "The community is where gays and lesbians were in the '60s." Well you need to stay that way and the homosexuals need to go back to it; or better yet, all of you should repent and renounce your sinful ways.

"Polyamorists" are individuals who maintain more than one emotional-sexual relationship simultaneously, believing that monogamy is unnatural. I have to admit that the natural state of things in the animal kingdom, and through most of human history, is one male with several women. Of course, that doesn't mean it works well in modern human society.
To: wagglebee
I've never really understood the argument against allowing a man to have more than one wife. You can say it's inefficient and that we don't have enough women for every man to do it but you could say that same thing about yachts and yet we don't ban them.
polygomy is different that bigamy, to my mind- it despicable to trick someone into marriage by concealing a previous marriage but that is different than two women voluntarily marrying the same man.

I love my wife dearly, but why in the world would anyone want two?

"Well you need to stay that way and the homosexuals need to go back to it; or better yet, all of you should repent and renounce your sinful ways."
How can it be a sin when some people in the bible were specifically commanded to have more than one wife?

From the 5000 year old society:
The Chinese symbol for trouble is two women under one roof. BIG trouble is the guy committing suicide in the second symbol.

Cite an example of a Jew (after the Ten Commandments had been given) or a Christian who falls into this category.

I just went to the website of Poly-NYC.com or .org or wherever in order to find my future three wives. :-)
But the photos show the weirdest collection of crazy people I have ever seen. They are weirder than anyone you'd see at a Gay "Right's" Parade. How could one person marry them, not to mention two or three.
NYC was my home town until after 9-11. Now it is like a distant planet to me. And yet I recognized Central Park. :-(

Considering your tagline, I find your opinion on the subject to be rather, uh, interesting. ;o)

I think you are right about the natural state of most animals. I think it may also be true for human males. Unfortunately, I believe monogamy is the natural state for women. A woman who agrees to polygamy may be doing it to keep a man. Inside, who knows what it is doing to her psyche?

" "At any given Arby's, McDonald's, Rotary Club or veterans hall," he says, "people are overwhelmingly in favor of calling a halt to drug prohibition. Overwhelmingly." "\
I'm sorry you don't like my tagline - it is inteneded as a reminder that liberty continues to depend on the right of self defense.

Only if that male can chase off all competitors through superior strength, courage, determination and good looks. (Or, a big pile of money...)
But in our system, even your local nebbish can hope for a loving monogamous marriage.
I suppose a lot of fellows picture themselves the Lord Lion of the Pride--but they don't see all the other lions who have to be beaten off, who wander alone and frustrated.

Of course I know what it means. I like the tagline. My comment was meant as a joke related to your comments on the present topic.

"I have to admit that the natural state of things in the animal kingdom, and through most of human history, is one male with several women. Of course, that doesn't mean it works well in modern human society." In ages past, polygamy was a power issue. The king or rich merchant could prove he was powerful with multiple wives. But among the poor it meant that women would not grow old without a mate. Back then the mortality rate of young men was very high due to war and pillaging on other continents (e.g., Genghis Khan) so plural marriage was the only way a woman could get a husband and children, and some security.
