There is one very big downside. Our insurance premiums are based upon the idea that at worse, there will be one working spouse, one non-working spouse and their children (who will at some point grow up and get their own insurance).
Where will the money come from to pay for Elder Smith's four wives and their fifteen children? Everyone else's premiums, of course!
But then, that only strengthens the case for "Single Payer", right?
In 2004, Karl Rove maneuvered "anti-marriage" amendments to voted on in many states during the presidential election season. So, the republican establishment riled up all the religious nutters to vote both for bush and, while they were there, why not vote your bible faith to restrict rights for actual humans too?
That's our legislative process—easily manipulatable, corruptible by riled up motivated voters who don't actually represent the majority.
So, we fix wrong decisions of the people with checks and balances. We dissolve the tyranny of the many and restore balance to the force.
suing because we don't recognize their polygamous marriages? there's no argument in favor of same sex marriage that doesn't equally apply to three or five person marriage.
Doesn't seem unreasonable to me.
Is there any downside to multi-marriage besides it just making you feel squicky?
