Though, to be honest, I think bigamy should be legal, as I think people should be able to arrange their financial and family structures as they see fit. Besides, it worked for Jacob.

Surely, you aren't advocating Hillary's VILLAGE approach.

Hell, no. For one thing I don't believe in compelling people to enter arrangements they don't want.

Now, here's where I disagree with the Dems on social issues. I believe traditional arrangements are there for a reason: Because they work the best for most people. A nuclear, heterosexual family is the best arrangement for probably 90% of the population I believe homosexuality is abnormal. I believe multiple partners is abnormal. I believe single parenthood is abnormal.

However, abnormal doesn't mean wrong. Even more, abnormal can be right for a small minority of the population. These abnormal people, as consenting adults, should have the right to freely live their abnormal lives, as long as they don't violate the rights of others, because that is what is right for them.

Tradition has been there because it works for the most people. But people are different so it doesn't work for a few. Those who choose to live abnormal lives are as responsible for recognizing why tradition works. Those who are traditional should give the nontraditional their space.
