As long as there is no coercion involved, if people want group marriages than it is not my business. There is a public health issue involved, but as I think plural marriages would remain a thin slice of marriages, it is not large enough of an issue to deny its right to existence.<BR/><BR/>charoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5393996338560944889.post-34989661118352478182009-03-26T14:33:00.000-04:002009-03-26T14:33:00.000-04:00I have not actually said that similar arguments do...I have not actually said that similar arguments do not apply, John. I am simply not invested in arguing for the right of people to have group marriage. If <I> you </I> think that those who seek group marriage are an oppressed minority whose rights are being abrogated, then <I> you </I> frame an argument that supports group marriage as a social good.<BR/><BR/>Being as it were that some people might consider equating gay marriage and polygamy a tactic whereby one links an increasingly accepted phenomenon with a less accepted one, and it thus comprises an effort to undermine support for the former, I am not enthused with continuing the discussion.Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11213051268392108382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5393996338560944889.post-23233945394147892232009-03-26T14:11:00.000-04:002009-03-26T14:11:00.000-04:00Just tell me what is not thoughtful about suggesti...Just tell me what is not thoughtful about suggesting that the same arguments which argue for State recognition of same sex marriage do not apply to State recognition of group marriage and I'll stop. I'm absolutely serious. I'm not being snarky. And I really would like to understand your seeming unconcern when you clearly want others to support your right to have the marriage you choose.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5393996338560944889.post-69716395256441993892009-03-26T13:33:00.000-04:002009-03-26T13:33:00.000-04:00go new england!go new england!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
