Well you know me , I don't think there's anything wrong with anything. We've all got to plough our own furrow.
So you and Stevil are on the same page in that you don't think that "morality" exists, correct? What does morality have to do with this thread?  |

Yes, some of His Grayness' ways are easy to understand. Others, however are not.
As The Book says, "The Lump rolls in mysterious ways, but it falls straight down"

Does the buttered side always land face down? Only when His Grayness falls off table-height. Otherwise, all bets are off. |

Back to the original question: I'm pretty sure that socially enforced monogamy is an attempt to keep most of us from killing each other off.

I don't think that's just it. Perhaps it's trying to be an 'order' or a system to things. Which is where marriage to only one person comes in. Either way, I don't think monogamy is normal, but hey, that's me. |
