And now the silly begins -or- Why Polygamy Should Be Legal For Women Only

This is the conversation which I was having with PW, which caused me to decide I had to start blogging. People need to know this sort of thing. My apologies to those who have heard this particular theory of mine before: Why, you might say, would a nice girl like me suggest that women should be allowed to have as many husbands as required but men are limited to one wife, even if they have to share? I say to you - social responsibility. You see, in this country, and probably others, men who end up with more than one wife face the problem that most women want to have babies. So, a man with more than one wife, ends up with many babies, as evidenced by the case in Utah a few years ago, where Mr. Green (I believe his name was) had 5 wives and around 30 kids. All well and good, you might think, if Mr. Green was independently wealthy or made the phat money, but that is not the case. Apparently, most families in this sort of situation rely on welfare, WIC and the like to help feed and clothe their enormous brood. Mr. Green's wives did not work outside the home, it took the 5 of them to run the household and, because they are clearly insane anyway, homeschool their kids (you know, they could actually have competed against real schools at various sports - 30 is more than enough to field a quality soccer team). Now, no matter how many husbands a wife has, she will almost definitely NOT have 30 children. The most I've ever heard of is that nice insane family who just had their 16th, and really, that's not even common enough to consider. Then, consider that if you only have one woman bearing (or, to be fair, adopting) children, then really the other adults have no excuse not to work. So, in this case you would end up with 5 husbands out earning paychecks and supporting 1 wife, and maybe 6ish (assuming she keeps up with the Green women) kids. No need for welfare or WIC then. Here's how I propose it works. For optimum effectiveness, you (the wife) will require: 1. The Love Husband (also is the Head Husband). This is the one you picked just because you love him and want to spend forever with him. In my case this is Chas. He hasn't bought into the rest of the program yet, but it's also not legal yet, so we have time. He gets to set the important schedule, if you get my drift, as well as be the one you generally do stuff with, like movies, going to dinner and procreation. 2. The Work-a-holic Husband. He should have a well-paying job, something like heart surgeon, movie star or President of the United States, which takes up a lot of his time. He needs you to show up on his arm at important social functions, he brings home a big, fat, paycheck and he doesn't care what you do the rest of the time. Ideally, you see him once or twice a month, work permitting. 3. The Gay Husband. Because the first two won't go to the Opera or out dancing with you, and besides, someone has to help you pick out clothes and decorate the living room. 4. The Handy Husband. This might not be necessary if the Head Husband is handy around the house. If not, you need the one who fixes the car, the plumbing, the washer when it's making "that noise, again", etc. 5. The Socially Important Husband. If none of the above can get you into the really good parties, like the ones in the SEEN Column, you need this one. So there you go. Feel free to disagree, but you will be wrong.
