I thought this was rather interesting:
The Issue
A small religious group is lobbying the government to allow them to take multiple wives.
The Debate
"It's about time we had our religious rights recognized," says Brenda Washington, a devout member of a faith that is never made quite clear. "Who is the government to tell me I can't love more than one woman? The government doesn't know how much of me there is to go around!"
[Accept]
"This is nothing more than sexual deviants using religion as a pretext for perversion!" says Reverend Fleur Dodinas. "Marriage is one man, one woman, and death do we part. What's so hard to get? Anything else is a perversion, and must be banned."
[Accept]
"Multiple wives? Excellent!" says passer-by Miranda Spirit. "Presumably we will allow multiple husbands, as well. And gay marriages, of course. In fact, now is probably the time for the government to butt out of marriage altogether. Let people marry their cats, if they want."
[Accept]
I was most intrigued by the first argument. Who the hell has the right to tell Brenda she can't love more than one woman?! Certainly not the government. Brenda, you just spread your love around. Don't let me tell you what to do. Seriously. I'm only here to take your money.
It gave me a much needed laugh while I searched for the 'dismiss' button, anyway.
