What alternative? Monogamy? No, Doctor Steuss; as I told IHAQ, the alternative to polygamy is not monogamy; it's monogamy for the lucky, and celibacy for the unlucky. If three consenting adults want to be in a committed relationship with each other, more power to them. If your wife wants a second h...

Why are you thinking of stopping at two wives, though? If two would be fine, what would be wrong with three or more? If three would be too many, why are you sure that two would not be? Physics Guy, if you want to try to pass a bill that would legalize four-adult, five-adult, etc., marriages, that's...

I am all for taking out all the second amendment people and putting them in a gunny sack and tossing them in the ocean, in a shark infested area, then add some hamburger as chum. Do you realize that, as an advocate of mass murder, this makes you infinitely worse than "the second amendment people" t...

I took Latter-day Saint Seminary classes every school day for my last four years before I graduated from high school, and I took Institute of ...

There's no good reason to think gay parents have any ideological differences with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. There is, on the other hand, some reason to expect that atheist parents have ideological differences with that church. Really? Could you explain more about this reasoni...

1) How much of your life have you lived outside of the Utah bubble? My apologies if you’ve talked about this before and I missed it. I was born in Seattle, Washington, in 1959.
