Okay, I haven't read the article, but that newspaper in the weird gold boxes had a headline: Polygamy Coming Soon, Grits Fear... or something like that.

Now, I could insert a couple of standard rants (poly(amory) vs marriage in historical oppressioj of women, polygamy vs polyamory, etc) but I don't care. I'm just highly amused.

Fear me! I'm all corrupt and stuff. Governments quake before me.

"Conservative Leader Stephen Harper warned Thursday that if same-sex legislation becomes law, the Liberals will not be able to prevent fundamentalist groups from requesting extreme types of marriages such as polygamy."

Extreme type of marriages...I thought that was when people had a bungee-jump ceremony.

Better not let Mr. Harper know that's been going on for a while.

And government is all about 'preventing' people from 'requesting' stuff... rather than, you know, letting everyone ask for what they want and sorting it out after that.

I wonder if they meant 'preventing' people from 'forcing us all to do it'? That would be scary.

It's not goverment, we're talking about it's a political group. And he's afraid because letting people ask for what they want (as opposed to telling them what they want) might mean that 1) people have to decide their own moral/legal compasses and 2) the canadian people might prove to not care that much if people (whether poly or fundamentalistwhatever) marry other people.
