Using the force of voluntary association to influence society at large is one thing. Using government to enforce arbitrary edicts is EVIL. I don't care how high minded your goals are, human history more than points up ample evidence to prove out that giving a select body of people POWER over everyone else is a really BAD idea that WILL be corrupted.

Look at it this way, what if the polygamists become the majority and make single man/single woman marriage ILLEGAL?

Don't presume to tell me to "go away and think" when you so obviously are clueless yourself.

My request was related to the whole paragraph. Give me a concrete reason why the law was created against polygamy in the first place. If you can see THAT reason, along with a corresponding reason to do away with it, then we should listen to you.

Until you understand the dynamics behind society and the way it regulates marriage, you are the last one who should be reforming it.....that is what was in the post.
