Alright! You've convinced me. Where do I sign up to be a Mormon? ;)

Actually, I have no problem with group marriages but I do think every 
partner should be a willing participant. If they manage to legalize gay 
marriages, as seems to be the big battle these days, then I think they 
should have to legalize the group marriages thing too.. afterall if 
you're going to break the strict Judio-Christian definition we currently 
use then you have no reason not to allow such marriages. The part of it 
that bothers me is that most of these cults don't give the girls a 
choice and they aren't very careful about disallowing close family 
members from having children. A local paper I recently read had an 
interesting story about how it was common practice for men to marry 
their own mother, sisters, cousins, etc and thus many people of the cult 
begin to be severely retarted. Besides, it's just gross that they are 
porking their own mom or grandmother. Eww!
