I have questions. How long do you think we can assume there will be two people in a marriage? Or that a marriage partner must be human? Or animate? Or alive?

If current trends continue... gays get to "marry"; and marriage becomes less desirable because of the way husbands and fathers are treated in divorce... eventually it will be mainly gays that "marry" (whatever it comes to mean then), and everyone else will co-habit. Marriage will lose its meaning and common law marriage will become more commonplace.

That may explain why Gov. Romney (MA) is mute vs. Gov. Arnold (CA).
Romney supports polygamy or must be tolerant of such so has done NOTHING.
If hypothesis is true, then watch for Utah to support this, too.

We can't!

Too late! A woman in France just married her fiancee who has been dead for over a year. Viva la France, eh?! And kerry is an internationalist who thinks they are so much smarter than us dumb Americans.

Personally I would advocate polygamy (I am being sarcastic). Probably has a stronger chance of being legalized because historically it was practiced by many cultures and still is practiced in many developing countries. Sat down and figured what my income would be if I worked and my five wives worked (and take turns watching the kids one day a week). If each beared me two kids, the tax deductions, bulk buying and etc. One could make out pretty good financially, plus when each kid becomes 16 years or older, arm each one with a rifle and I already have a rifle squad in times of trouble. I drove my feminist sister in law crazy with this proposal after her company fired a worker for opposing gay pride emails sent to him by his company at work. She claimed that there was a need to be tolerant and accept gay couples a legally married people. That tolerance died when I told her that I think marriage should include the right for men to have more than one wife.
