All In the Family
A new TV program is coming to the airwaves to remind us sheep how valuable the State is to us by repressing all those nuts & kooks out there.
"All In the Family – [A] Bizarre love quadrangle binds a Mormon businessman and his three wives." It is the story of a Mormon foursome-style group marriage and what a bad and immoral idea it is, and the couragous DA and cops who try to bust the family up.
My take? If these folks have a living arrangement that is voluntary, makes ‘em happy, and they aren’t harming anyone else, then WTF?
As a religion I think Mormonism is beyond strange, (even for Christianity, too) but so what? It isn’t for me to judge them in that way.
I see this marital foursome as a family trying to live out their lives in a way that makes sense to them. And, as humans exist in a condition of natural liberty, they have the right to try to as well. Who is to say they’re wrong? Who is harmed? Why must the State intervene in a private arrangement? No valid responses come to mind here. (And no “moral relativism” arguments from the peanut gallery either, please.)
