I'm wondering how someone who goes around wearing a wedding ring succeeded in the dating pool. Normally a wedding ring sends a flashing Do Not Enter message - except to those looking for flings with married people.

I marvel with distress that in 2015 we are fighting the vaccination wars.

Polygamy has an ancient history and is legal in many parts of the world. I find the rules of polygamy to be damaging and it's potentially dangerous to young girls and terrible for excess boys. But polyamory is supposed to be a more equal arrangement among agreeing adults.
