[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It won't be for long. there is no legal basis for saying the old right to "one man one woman" marriage also includes "two men" but not "one man, two women," etc. Anti polygamy laws will be struck down on constitutional grounds soon enough.

Disagree.  Who decides whether to pull the plug if you are on life support?
If there's multiple husbands, who is assumed to be the father?  
If one party exits the polygamous marriage after a few years, how do you allocate his/her portion of the marital property?

Nope, marriage is a legal construct between two individuals.  We don't care about what's in their pants.  But we do have to limit it to two parties.

Want more than that, start a corporation.  Then you'll all be one person!!![/quote]

I think that if it is legalized, as it should be, there would have to be some special procedures like with adoption. Just to make sure that there is no excessive fraud like people marrying 10 old widows to get their money, or people marrying 10 men from another country to get them into the US. Those kinds of things can really cause social harm. 
The other issues like life support? For me, I have it written that my sisters have to decide, not my husband. I have 3 sisters and if two want to end it, then so it is. When my daughter is 27, she will be the one to decide. You put these thing sin writing.[/quote]
