I disagree. If you are rich enough, it would be easy to handle. For the average Joe, its another story.

I know people have strong anti-poligamy feelings. However, IMHO, it is one of the only ways that the West can survive demographically. Flame away.

This is not pro or against polygamy but population growth in either a human population or a herd of deer is determined by the carrying capacity of the environment, physical in the case of deer and financial in the case of humans, and the number of fertile females in the population.

Barring genetic problems, how the females are impregnated is irrelevant to population growth.

In modern society, having one man man married to ten women would seriously restrict the ability to financially support 30 children that ten women married to 10 different men could easily financially support.

I know a lot of rich enough men that can barely handle their own wives. But then again you are now talking about these men (polygamy inspired men) attracting a bevy of gold diggers in order for it to work. Most men I know enjoy women that are not digging just for the shiny and glittering. Some men want a lot of cheap jewels, still others wait for the diamond in the rough that stands out from the cheap imitations.

Daphne Gilbert, a law professor at the University of Ottawa, said the argument promised by Mr. Blackmore’s lawyer is predictable but without merit. The monogamous aspects of formal same-sex relationships are “actually in keeping with our view on marriage,” Prof. Gilbert said.

You gotta love Professor Gilbert's "view". She arrogates to herself, not to the people (since I assume just as in the U.S., gay marriage in Canada has never been approved by the people but instead established by court fiat) the wisdom to come up with a new "human right" that not only overthrows every tradition since the dawn of man but also flies in the face of just plain common sense. Then she insists only her "view of marriage" is correct!

I also wonder if even this "view of marriage" could be remarkably flexible, changing dramatically when faced with the much more substantial case of millions of Muslims now residing in North America instead of the relatively puny population of fundamentalist Mormons.

Liberals assured me that gay marriage would end right there.

Right ... that would be the same federal Liberals that assured us the Firearms Registry would be up and running for only $185 million??

(*** Background for our American FRiends: last I checked, the price tag was over $1 billion, and climbing .... ***)

“Osama Bin Laden was a child of polygamy and look at how he turned out . . .”

So was Obama. There’s a trend going on here.

Unfortunatley, what is happening is that lots of couples who could easily afford kids don’t have them. They want stuff and good times and kids get in the way of that. Of course, what they really want is fulfillment and they think that only stuff can buy them peace. In reality, the opposite is true. Ultimately, there is nothing more personally fulfilling than raising your kids to successful adults.

I think the difference is this one’s written in Canadian,
e.g., “defence,” “manoeuvre.”

What history has demonstrated time and time again is that all these extremes will disappear because they are the rust that degrades, deforms, corrupts and weakens the foundation of society.

These things have already been done throughout history and they didn't last long in terms of human history.
