34. I've read through this thread and still see no logical connection
between consensual sex (sodomy) and polygamy. The analogy seems absurd. There is nothing to prevent people from promiscuity, or sleeping with as many partners as they wish, but I do see a problem with supporting and property rights and inheritance with marrying all of them.

Wasn't one of the problems with that big time polygamist who went to jail, Tom Green ??, that his wives and children were all on welfare and double dipping in welfare benefits? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought there was also some fraud involved there, and the very problem with the idea of supporting multiple wives.
