That's what I remember.

We are starting down a slippery slope.

Hmmm...I think you might want to review the text. While polygamy has a long tradition in human history as you state and was common in antiquity and described in the Old Testament, the practice was never condoned and actually specifically condemned. The text never shies away from people’s warts and misgivings but displays them as they were.
Was common? It still is common in much of the world, and approved by the largest religion on the globe. I don't think its sane as having one is too much work for me, but I don't have to do it either.
If I am not mistaken polygamy is required in certain circumstances in the Old Testament.

Obama won't make churches conduct gay marriages. How benevolent of him. But will our next king or queen feel the same?

Re: Today is a sad day in American history

I really don't care about Gays one way or the other. They are people and should have rights like anyone else.

I don't think however, the government should be in the business of marrying people.

Let churches do the marrying.

Let governments decide on partnerships.

To me the government should issue domestic partnership licenses. Please don't call it marriage. I am offended for the government to do that.
