However, just because you don't see a compelling reason for polygamous marriage, it doesn't mean others(i.e traditional Mormons and many others around the world) don't like the idea.

I don't like the idea of polygamous marriage, either, but I'm having a hard time justifying why, if not for a personal preference objection(just like some might not prefer blacks and whites marrying)
I see your point.. the reason I can come up for justifying why they shouldnt be allowed is that people could take advantage of the rights given by the govn't through marriage... i.e. marrying a lot of people and then getting 10 different social security checks after their multiple spouse's pass away.
