Most of the polygamy colonies in Utah are fiercely close and shun outsiders, Jim. Where's the fresh DNA come from? Kidnapping? The reason such arrangements are against the law is that our society has decided to define "marriage" as one woman and one man joined in a legally-sanctioned way, protected by the laws of the various levels of government. And part of the reason they have done this is to prevent intra-family breeding. Most societies (cultures) define "marriage" that way. How would Jim have it defined? There's nothing to prevent a multi-spouse arrangement, as long as those involved don't demand government sanction and protection. Common sense and the health and welfare of the children will prevent it, Jim. Multi"-spouse" arrangements are widespread in the welfare communities, without the benefit of official government sanction, but ultimitely with government (tax-payer) support. |
