but hey, rupe. go for it. you go for whatever you want, state it however you wish.
once upon a time DADT was a law of the land...so was slavery. once upon a time i wouldn't have been allowed to vote. so what. those were all incorrect, and were fixed. some states have already recognized that marriage between two consenting adults is a right that should be enjoyed by all, since certain rights were being given to only some TWO people marriages.
thankfully others get it, while some want to come up with cockamamie slippery slope arguments.

Polygamy is marriage between 2 consenting adults (at least one of which is married to at least one other person). Why should it be illegal? I'm sure you know I care nothing about polygamy. I'm just trying to make a point. I'm not saying that polygamy should be legal, although I think good arguments could certainly be made in favor of polygamy being legal. It is legal in some countries.
What is your argument as to why polygamy should be illegal? The act itself of a man dating and living with 4 women at once is not illegal. People can do whatever they want. They just can't get the marriage certificates. Anyway, I'm wondering if you have a rational answer as to why the government should prevent a guy from marrying more than one woman. If they are consenting adults, how is it the government's business?
