Dear Savage:
I don’t need all the essays about what you believe.
I was just wondering which of these two forms of “marriage”—1.polygamy,2.same-sex—FR posters would consider to be worse for society.
Vote for 1 or 2. (A tie vote is a cop out.)
I vote for 2 simply because I see adopting children into this union as a problem. But I don’t have a problem with some sort of civil union that gave partners some legal rights in medical questions and wills for example.
Getting a little off-topic, are we? Obviously, choice two would always be worse than choice one. After a nuclear disaster or alien invasion or zombie attack, then repopulating the planet might require polygamy. That's why there are so many movies about those 'possible' eventualities. However, THIS thread is about the dangers posed by ACTUAL polygamists TODAY. Reality just isn't as much fun.
They both are Orwellian redefinition of Black’s legal dictionary which states marriage is between one man and one woman.
Why would we allow the legal definition of marriage to be changed, when our legal definition is the only one which agrees with Natural Law Theory and God’s Law which is the basis of our legal system?
In the book, 1984, the way they made people believe 2+2 = 5 was to change the definition of words and teach lies as truth—like Heather has two mommies. Very silly and destroys logic in children (and that is not covering the mocking God/religious aspect). Polygamy is unequal worth of individuals which is totally unconstitutional also.
Such silly and stupid concepts trying to be made normal and natural by constant repetition...said over and over and over especially so young children hear so that perceptions can be changed and lies become the truth.
Exactly like how Solzhenitsyn described the Soviet Union’s version of “truth” and Orwell’s emphasis on how words were constantly being redefined-—so than history and words meant nothing.
I advise keeping our legal definition that sufficed for 200 years (and longer in Common Law) and quit trying to redesign man to Marx’s image.This redefining words is exactly what gulags and Big Brother does and we know what happened there.
