      Personally, thanks to polygamy’s history and recency to current times, yes, I think being married to multiple people is a bad idea. I’m for keeping it illegal until we can be sure it won’t be used like that again. I don’t think now is that time.

        i really don’t like that reasoning, that sounds way to close to the reasoning used to make gay marriage illegal.

        Who are you to decide whether i get to marry the people i love?

          And I don’t think it’s valid at all to compare the two. Polygamists were never “oppressed”, they were the ones doing the oppression (of their wives).
