Just this morning I had a high school student tell me that there shouldn't be any restrictions on how many people she can marry, since gays want to marry. Why not two husbands and three wives? We've already had a woman marry a dolphin recently. Eventually, all sex will be reduced to the pleasant sensation gained from rubbing skin against something else. The childbearing and reproductive aspects of sex, by definition, will then be eliminated or hidden under social shame. We're already close to this point in some quarters; you'd be amazed at the number of young men and young women who want no children and lots of sex. When most of us hit that point, in my opinion, the culture is dead.
I've already run across one of the polyamorists at the local university when I was taking education classes several years ago. As always, the latest decline in standards is portrayed as liberation, and if you disagree, you're oppressive. Maybe we'll just have to hit bottom before we understand the need for self-discipline and moral conduct.
i'm interested in your comment about the woman marrying a dolphin.
can a person marry TWO dolphins?
can people marry penguins, too, or is it just dolphins?
(I'm not sayin' i'm INTO penguins--i'm jes' askin out of curiosity)
