I was reading an article this morning that got me thinking,
We bring/allow in a lot of folks from different countries without the expectation
that they assimilate to our life style, standard of living, morals, use whatever term you want.
We are now getting many immigrants/refugees that come from countries where men
have multiple wives. Are we now going to acknowledge polygamy so we can be inclusive of
the culture coming into our country. And if so, will it also be legal and acceptable for folks
already here?
The article was about it being acknowledged in England but only if the marriage was
preformed in a country where it's legal.
What's the outdated saying? And the dynamite goes BOOM

It's already commonplace enough. How do you think this might affect you personally? How specifically would this impinge your rights or freedoms?
One of the top stories on CNN. Not even "news worthy" on some swedish news channels..

I'm guessing that the only real reason they're against polygamy is because a guy can deduct a shit-load of dependents.
Small splinter groups do continue to practice this but it is not legally recognized. As a point of issue, There is a law suit presently that is using the same legal maneuvering as the "same sex marriage" to try to legalize this.
But you ask how it affects me personally. Personally, my day to day routine will not change in the near future.
It's more of a drip, drip, drip. My country is changing not because we have decided that we want to change but because a small group of people trying to tell us that it's wrong to have our own morals and expect people which come to our country should learn and accept our morals. It is, after all. our country. But no, we should allow any and all folks into the country and accept that they will get to do what they are use to or I will be called a racist for not accepting that. The underlying message is that the laws are only for us and not groups coming in.
IF the folks coming in would just assimilate, great, but why do I have to assimilate? This is just one issue.
It's funny you bring up Mormon splinter groups and not how the country tries to smash them down. And you bring that up like there is no distinction. In one group the wives are part of a family, in the, other wives are a possession.
But regardless, If you do accept that, the're are entirely new dimensions of legal issues that will come up.
Pretty soon we'll have a bunch of immigrants coming in and we'll have to listen to all the sentences ending with "eh"
