Most men are unwived, for they cannot afford to be married.<br /><br />This is the primary cause of wide-spread poverty in polygamous cultures, and that enormous divide between the relatively small prosperous top and the very large, poor rest of the community.<br /><br />There are very interesting changes being rung on this now in some Islamic African cultures, in which a man really cannot afford wives, but keeps taking them anyway, in different places in the country or even outside of it -- keeping his family poor. Sometimes he makes a huge error and insists all these wives live together, and they get together and throw the lazy bastard out and keep their earnings for themselves and their children.<br /><br />Love, C.Foxessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06754083123669916994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5077075252525438159.post-34281155513479889672010-02-20T08:52:37.253-08:002010-02-20T08:52:37.253-08:00I wonder if he has this vision of a congregation o...I wonder if he has this vision of a congregation of early men and women gathering in a cave waiting for the groom to drag his wife down the aisle by her hair.K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10222703055177237209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5077075252525438159.post-90583565249435105542010-02-20T07:25:15.743-08:002010-02-20T07:25:15.743-08:00"Demented"! indeed he is!

...Yeah, Senator Demented was in rare form at CPAC!<br /><br />This one always cracks me up:<br /> <i>Since the dawn of time, traditional marriage - the union between one man and one woman - has been the building block of civilization...</i><br /><br />These guys really need to study history, and especially Biblical history, a little more closely. Monogamy is a relatively modern innovation; polygamy has been the rule in history, and even in the "Christian" West it was the rule until about the 5th century or so. In the early church a man with 2 or more wives was considered to be a better prospect for election as a bishop because he was seen to be that much more of a responsible citizen.<br /><br />Re: Hawaii... See, the Birthers are right! No way is a place with that excellent of a public health record a part of the US. It's obviously a foreign country and anybody born there is ineligible to be President of the US.
