    Sure, just like a cattle ranch only needs one bull to keep it populated with cattle.

    Too bad those perfect chormosomes of yours have not imparted to you the ability to understand the salient distinction between humans and cattle.

    On the one hand, that's no problem, seeing near half the country had sense enough not to vote for Obama. On the other, you've got a lot more in common with the Obamatons than you think.

    about 80% of the country didn't vote for him. you'd realize that if you had 46 chromosomes with no identifable defective genes...like ME. :sun:

    They didn't strike down "polygamy" laws, they struck down anti-cohabitation laws which don't seem to exist anywhere but Utah (probably as an over-reaching reaction to polygamy). You still can't have more than one legal spouse in Utah but you can chose to live in a group "as-if" you are married which I think is true of anywhere else in the world.

    Of course if one of your partners is your legal spouse, they can sue for divorce on the grounds of adultery if they're not happy with the arrangement.

    Does it really matter. Why are we enforcing purely religious laws with our secular tax dollars?

    Alas, when all is said and done, for those of you who are blissfully ignorant of human nature, whom you trust won't matter as much as a flea's flatulence does in a hurricane.

    make up your mind. 1st you want me to trust you, now you don't care. for all your ranting about how how people aren't cattle, you forget why yelling fire in a theater isn't protected speech. :no:

    Better you should stop your futile attempts to mess with it, as the intellectual bankruptcy of your position is nonetheless clear.

    Group marriage is fine by me, as long as all parties to it are consenting adults. Not really my thing, since I don't like to share, but hey, whatever floats their boats.
