I'm all for letting the polygamists and polyandrists marry. I agree that doing so could pose a challenge as far as insurance goes, but I think it's definitely a surmountable challenge. I also don't think many people would want to have multiple spouses. It's really a lot of work.

You know, I should set you up with some books about Utah history and the anti-polygamy movement in the 1870s-90s. A lot of fascinating and not-so-well-known stuff, a lot of parallels with Mormon polygamy to gay marriage today.

Also, we had a senator in Utah who was not allowed to take his seat in Congress because he was a polygamist back in 1890 or so.
