Rather than being insulted, the average man would be incensed, ready to protect his turf if his wife ever suggested she wanted an additional partner. Absolute best arrangement is: One Man, One Woman Lyrics by ABBA One man, one woman Two friends and two true lovers Somehow we'll help each other through the hard times One man, one woman One life to live together One chance to take that never comes back again You and me, to the end

This is an insult to American taxpayers: >>Allegations of welfare fraud and tax fraud in the Fundamentalist Latter Day Saints(FLDS) dominated communities have been widely reported in 2004 throughout United States media. It has been estimated that 33% of the men, women and children in the group are receiving state and federal aid, though 0% unemployment was reported in the 2000 census. Moreover, the Colorado City/Hildale, Utah area has the world's highest incidence of fumarase deficiency, an extremely rare genetic condition which causes severe mental retardation. Geneticists attribute this to the prevalence of cousin marriage between descendants of two of the town's founders, Joseph Smith Jessup and John Yeates Barlow; at least half the double community's roughly 8,000 inhabitants are descended from one or both.<<
