not to mention it was ruled unconstitutional according to the State Constitution...who knows the language of the state constitution to know if they were truly wrong in their judgement?

They argued that it was a historical item not religious. Which is utter bollocks and the state supreme court didn't buy it.

The part of the state law that it violates.
“No public money or property shall ever be appropriated, applied, donated, or used, directly or indirectly, for the use, benefit, or support of any sect, church, denomination, or system of religion, or for the use, benefit, or support of any priest, preacher, minister, or other religious teacher or dignitary, or sectarian institution as such.”

It's not historical? I assumed that was the spot where Charleton Heston found the darn things.

I'm pretty sure that no sane person would agree with most of what pops out of my head.
Wait, that didn't sound right...

Here's the beauty, if martial law is ever implemented, it will probably prevent Flaggy from coming here to give us all an "I told you so."

There's no question it's coming (the challenges from polys, I mean). However, I think it'll be a solid 20-25 years before it's a serious challenge. The foul odor of Warren Jeffs, the FLDS, and the inherent incest and domestic abuse of that particular group are still somewhat strong in the public olfactory.

The gays have no such documented history to tangle with.

Why are the people who supposedly want the government out of our lives so quick to try and keep the government IN other people's lives? Stop caring what other people do and just worry about yourself.

Why shouldn't this guy "marry" whoever he wants to if that's what makes them happy? You're all a bunch of "polyphobes." :p

I question what polys do because they have a documented history of cultish incest and domestic abuse, neither of which is OK. If you can prove that polygamy isn't associated with these movements a majority of the time, then maybe I'll start thinking about it.

Are you singling out the Mormons here, or is this really true across all cultures and history of polygamy? I have a book here somewhere about the insanity of Mormonism that covers a lot of this stuff, but have been putting off reading it for about 5 years. I'll have to dig it out before the new round of pride parades start up.
found it: "Under the Banner of Heaven." I forgot it's by Jon Krakauer, should be a good read.

So long as the state benefits and privileges for the whole family are capped at the same maximums that a married couple would receive, I'm good. No fair marrying a bunch of people just to milk the benefits.

I don't know, they'd probably all be dependents same as a bunch of kids are. Maybe we could work something else out, maybe call it the "three fifths compromise" or something.

I'm progressive...and was fine with gay marriage 20 years ago. Poly marriages will never happen and I would not be supportive. Sooner or later they are destructive and demeaning to some of the parties (who typically believe they have little alternative). There's nothing in the Constitution that would mandate they must be legal and both genders esp women would be solidly against the concept.

Why does everyone think that a poly marriage must have more F than M?

A valid marriage can have MMFF, MFF or any combination thereof > 2. As long as there is no spousal abuse, the State should be OK.

Incest? Between consenting adults? What could be wrong with that?

The camel's nose is under the tent flap. Good luck stopping the rest of it.
