Don't have any issue with civil ceremonies for bufties. Doesn't do any harm and if it makes them happy. I also think its wrong that they were discriminated against in terms of next of kin rules. I actually don't have that much of an issue with folk having lots of wifes as long as they don't ask me to pay for it.
i tend to agree. everybody should be able to name a beneficiary other than the state.

as for polygamy - less expensive than single mums i suspect and more fecund than non-reproductive arrangements, so probably a better financial investment for you than others.

i also agree with your implied distinction between law and personal liberty. a person should be able to consider themselves married to their dog if they want to. legal recognition is another matter and not a question of individual rights.
