Sounds like an excellent book. If I don’t win it, I’ll pick it up.

As for polygamy, I’ve rarely seen an instance of polygamy in which it is carried out in the way it is intended, and that is for a man to spread his seed and be a support to more than one woman. It seems to me t be heavily beneficial to the man– and of course, since he financially and emotionally supports multiple families, I can see how he might think he deserves that– but relationships are about a give and take. From what I’ve seen about Polygamy and understandably that is limited, it seems the women and children give and give– freedom and a sense of normalcy and a one one one father-child relationship– and I just don’t see them getting much back. I don’t see how it benefits the woman in the relationship, most especially if the relationship or marriage is based on spiritual reasons. There are a lot of unfair things in this world, and not saying they should be made illegal, but I don’t think Polygamy does much for Women’s Rights in the first, and civil rights in the 2nd. On that basis, I think polygamy should remain illegal.

But, like others have also said, I agree that to some extent the government shouldn’t be allowed to tell people how to conduct their relationships. Still… it icks me out, so I’m going to say no!

Thanks for the chance!
