Monogamy, yeah right.

I've been reading a lot of posts about the recent raid in Texas.   I find it interesting that so many people are bent out of shape about the polygamy part of it more than some of the other aspects.   If it was just the fact that they had more than one wife, I'd say leave them alone...who cares.   The things that I disagree with is the whole religious craziness.  And the fact that these kids are brain washed into thinking they HAVE to marry young, or marry someone five times their age.     What if Polygamy was made legal?

Oh there are those that think that it would tarnish traditional marriage, usually the same people that fight gay marriage.   Let the religious right keep marriage...call it something else.  Call it a union...or a partnership, or whatever if that is what they are all bent out of shape about.  Lets face it folks, how sacred is marriage.  Let us be honest.  How many marriages end in divorce these days?  How many of the remaining marriages can say they were completely monogamous?  We live in a country where baby mommas, baby daddies an ex and step are an everyday occurrence.   We also live in a country where sexually transmitted disease is rampant.  At least poly groups are open and honest with each other about whom they are sleeping with.  While alot of supposal monogamous couples are out screwing around in secret and bringing all that back to unexpected spouses.    

Now do go attacking me, I think children being forced into marriage and kids and wives living in fear is WRONG.  Maybe if we legalized group marriage, these people wouldn't have to "hide" from the world.   If they weren't hiding it would be easier to monitor their behavior.    Did we really have the right to go in and take all these children, rip them from their families.  Yes, there were some children that were abused, and we need to step in and make sure they are protected, but you can't convience me that all of the 400 plus children were abused.   Well unless you reason that religious brainwashing is abuse, but be careful there, because there are a lot of children in the world that religiously brainwashed.  This would be like someone coming in your community and because there were some children in the community that were abused all the children in the community were taken in the protective custody. 

 So what is so wrong about polygamy?  It seems a better alternative to some of the relationships I have been witness to.  Me I'll stick to the status quo..I'm not sure I could handle the stress of having to deal with extra spouses.
