I'm not religious, (not morman) and I know of many triples who live very happily. I don't know of many quads who last long, they usualy end up in smaller groups, but 3 does seem to be the magic number for many.
I take issue with the assumption that this is always sexist. What about 2 males and one female? Is that sexist against men? After all when it works it is usualy an equal kind of love in all directions. (That means at least 2 are bi.) But I don't think that the mormans are this way. These situations are allways one man and many women, and the women generaly do not have a kind of life-bond love for eachother. So that is where the sexism comes in, but that doesn't mean that all relationships envolving to women and one man are structured that way. It is ammazing to me that in a country claiming to be free that these types of conversations even still happen. Who or who-all, one decides to fall in love with, raise a family with, bond for life with, should be absolutly no concern of the state. Now I agree, everyone has their limit of understanding. I could not see a marriage of 12 as having anything to do with love and bonding, and life commitment. Maybe a residency scam... But who is to make the decision? I wouldn't know how to look at an arangment of more than 4 and understand if their was truely love and bonding there. And I am mearly a sympathetic person in a 2 person bond. How would your average social worker be able to look at a relationship of more than 2 people and know whether or not it was real? So, simple, dont base residency, or any other problematic concern on life bonding. Where does that leave Gay marriage? Or even hetero mariage? --- In [EMAIL PROTECTED], "The Fool" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > <<http://www.nathannewman.org/log/archives/001538.shtml#001538>> > > ... > The Historical Assault on Mormons: But the attacks on polygamy should > evoke a more historical American shudder that should make conservatives > think twice before equating their intolerance of gay marriage with > intolerance for polygamy. > ... > A Slippery Slope: So in order to preserve marriage as that of "one man > with one woman", the US government systematically led a criminal and > economic assault on a religion and essentially at a point of a gun, > forced them to recant a core part of their religious beliefs. > ... > > ----- > > I Pledge Impertinence to the Flag-Waving of the Unindicted > Co-Conspirators of America > and to the Republicans for which I can't stand > one Abomination, Underhanded Fraud > Indefensible > with Liberty and Justice Forget it. > > -Life in Hell (Matt Groening) > > _______________________________________________ > http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
