It’s a fairly common practice among polygamists in Utah to establish multiple households, one wife in each, and make each wife responsible for the financial support of her own household (frequently this means “welfare”).

And polygamous women servicing all their marriages quickly devolving to chaos.

But that too is what barry wants for American society.

Every single Supreme Court decision regarding abortion and/or rights of homosexuals (Casey, Romer, Lawrence, and Windsor) applies with greater force - not equal force, GREATER force - to polygamy.

The Court just has not found the right case yet.

To use a Supreme Court phrase, if you accept the four cases above as precedent, there is no "rational basis" to forbid polygamy.

MIDI - NEVER MY LOVE (scroll down to Oldies section)

You ask me if a liberal judge will stop me loving you
Never my goat...never my goat

You ask me if I’ll have to hide the things that I do to you
Never my goat...never my goat

When I watch you munching grass, I see your little ______ (fill in the blank)
And I lose...control...control

You ask me if the San Fran mayor will tell us we can’t be wed
Never my goat...never my goat

You ask me if John Kerry will keep you out of my bed
Never my goat...never my goat

When I watch you munching grass, I see your little ______ (fill in the blank)
And I lose...control...control, control

Never my goat...never my goat

Never my goat...never my goat

Never my goat...never my goat

“That means the state should even encourage such lifetime family bonds, as that benefits all citizens.”

The state (power brokers, govt) does not want what is good for the state (citizens, society) but what is good for the state (power brokers). The elimination of the family unit is good for the power brokers.

Already a majority in this nation have made government their god, and before long government will be family.

Imagine more than one wife and they all eventually synchronize their menstrual cycles.

No thank you!

Since the article points out that marriage is really about benefits, the ultimate solution may be to eliminate all benefits for spouses.

...this is the entire essence of the issue of non-traditional marriage...

Polygamy will be made legal when three gay men or women sue for the right to marry each other.

Then the 14th Amendment will kickin and then poly will be legal for heterosexuals, too.

The majority in Lawrence v. Texas also said their decision wouldn’t lead to homosexual marriage; yet the pro-homosexul marriage groups use that case in arguments to promote homosexual marriage.
