[MK] Arlo I wonder if you see a limit to this. [Arlo] I believe that consenting adults can determine for themselves the best civil union for themselves, and the state should confer civil benefits accordingly. I have no trouble with polygamy, if it involves consensual adults. Why should you care if someone else wants to be part of a polygamous relationship? If they so choose, they should also have the same rights as other unions to decide who gets their inheritance, who can visit them in the hospital, tax breaks, etc.
But this "fear of the slippery slope" is a common argument, and not one that holds much interest for me. Whatever "line" we draw should be based on reason, and if you draw a line and justify it only by saying "we need a line somewhere" then that's something I summarily dismiss. MY line, since you ask, is only about in my life what type of relationship I want to be personally be in. YOU may choose differently. I don't bother myself worrying if you choose differently than I do. So let me ask you, in the example I gave Craig, what should the state do? Dissolve the marriage?
