I repeat the questions I asked earlier, which you answered with irrelevant asides and personal attacks:

If [you are raising your daughters right], what are you worried about? They wouldn't have to be married to such people, and I'm sure they wouldn't be. Or is it that you assume your daughters are that naive and stupid enough to be fooled?

Part of "raising our daughters right" --- part of our responsibility as mothers and as citizens --- is to fashion a decent society for them (and all our posterity) to grow up and develop in, since all human nature consists of frail and ignorant persons who only gradually and imperfectly acquire the strength and wisdom to do what is right, and even what is in their own self-interest.

Motherbear and I oppose legal polygamy in America because it would hurt our children and our children's children. We and others like us will use the processes of democracy to preserve the decencies we love and to suppress the social forces of dissolution.

None but tyrants would impose legal polygamy on a society that overwhelmingly opposes it. Of course, as we see, there is no shortage of tyrants.
