But that is the inexorable logic of the push for same-sex marriage. If all love is equal, why not polyamory?

Polygamy is an ancient and quite stable social arrangement, as long as you have large land armies to soak up all the leftover young men. I am certain polygamy will be legal in the US as soon as the Supreme Court takes an on-point case.

Polyandry, on the other hand, has never worked and cannot ever work, because the men involved will kill each other or commit suicide in short order.

I think a man who had to live with two wives might come close to killing himself...not everything is what it’s cracked up to be ;-)

I thought it was the other way 'round; so many young men were killed off fighting that there were excess women who needed mates.
