Do you support the legalisation of polyagmy and polyandry

Hi Morganna,

I know but it should and that's the reason to try.

Quote:I see one key and fundamental difference between gay marriage and polygamous marriage: complexity...

...In other words, setting up a system whereby all parties in a polygamous marriage get a fair and equitable deal strikes me as being an enormous headache for any legislature that takes that challenge on.

Indeed. So much of the current legislature has been riddled with monogomous memes for so long that it might seem an insurmountable problem but I'm confident that it wouldn't be beyond the ken of humankind; we've managed to create legislation for other marvellously complicated situations, why not for this one?

Quote:However, I would support a compromise arrangement in which all parties are required to work out these details on their own in advance, pending approval by a judge and/or some other governmental oversight. (Did somebody already suggest this? If so, your idea was great!)

That was me, I think... if not, it's certainly along the lines of the ideas that I've suggested and the originator gets my kudos.
Sum ergo sum
