Follow the money (or title rights)

[novapsyche]

I was directed to this page regarding the issues of polygamy and bigamy in the United States. While some people think it's about cultural norms and civil rights, I personally think it's more about property rights and the fact that if people start having multiple marriages, how will land rights be determined?

"Liberty presumes an autonomy of self,” claimed Justice Anthony Kennedy, “that includes freedom of thought, belief, expression, and certain intimate conduct.” Yet Justice Kennedy comprises the fifth person of the Catholic (conservative) majority, which seems to be on track to restrict such freedoms.

I might write more later.
