Somehow this pet argument always seems to work backwards. In every dispute over gay marriage, someone pulls out the "then why not marry a pet turtle". Yet I never heard such arguments over pets inheriting huge amounts, having trusts arranged and what not. Somehow pets are entitled to becoming legal heirs, but are somehow used to exemplify legal absurdity.

>As far as polygamy is concerned, again, if it really is a workable idea (which I kind of doubt), then I say let them have their fun - my life won't be changed by it.

As long as polyandry is legally equal to polygamy, I don't mind either.
