Even though we're way off-topic now... I have to say that your defense of polygamy is really just a band-aid solution to the root problem in today's society... namely, laziness, apathy, self-centeredness and entitlement.
People are too lazy to have a strong professional life and a strong family life, so they are always looking to pass it off to someone else, be it, daycares, babysitters, the government, schools, or now, extra spouses. Then, when things get tough, they get divorced, or an alternative means of fleeing the situation, hell, we even have children divorcing their parents, how disgusting is that... I mean, if our parents and grandparents were able to tough it out, why can't our generations? I really think we are in a society where conventional married couples reaching 25 or 50 years of marriage will be a rarity. We're becoming way too greedy and selfish.
The solution is a return to family (not religious) values. Not further dilution of them with polygamy.
End of Rant.
