That's a problem caused by marrying too-close relatives, not polygamy or polyandry. Most of the polygamy colonies in Utah are fiercely close and shun outsiders, Jim. Where's the fresh DNA come from? then the problem is clearly self limiting 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. and most of it is the imposition of Christain morality on those that they could not convince of it 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. gee Polygamous societis exists for centuries Japan for example had an esscaily polygamous system for about 1000 years till the Mengi restorain The Japanesse did ok rising a couple of generation to Challenge the Mightof theUSA itself I am sure the "evil religious people" he was refring to were the Founding Fathers who took it upon themselves to put ambiguous language about "seperation of church and state" in the Constitution, however liberally sprinkle "relgion" throughout the political process. Where? Start with your folding money. Most of the Founders were Deists. They also cherished religious liberty and did not want churches to be supported by tax dollars. As well they shouldn't. However Christian principles were the basis for most of thier beliefs and were codified into early American law. Who among them could have foretold the silliness that prevails in today's "religious" pursuits? ah yes the voice of tolerance speaks, beliefs other than his own are silly 73 Steve, K4YZ |
