<DIV><BR></DIV>I'm not denying anything. Maybe three or more. I just don't want
to confuse it with the issue of same-sex marriage. That seems important to me,
just because I can see the folks that such a law might help. I don't happen to
meet many polygamists, so I'm not too concerned for now.<BR><BR>Why not take one
step: include same-sex marriages. If the polygamists complain as much as the
gays and lesbians, we might have to revisit the issue.<BR><BR>

<DIV>Well, if he argued that polygamy and gay marriage are similar, then
that is just another fallacious argument. It is like arguing that we can
give every adult the right to vote because that would lead to some folks
voting more than once. We would be powerless to avoid that! <BR><BR>
