Standoff emerges at polygamist ranch in Texas,,,(MUST BE another piece of property wanted for the trans texas corridor)

So according to your comments, I gather that you feel the following two scenarios are practically synonymous:

Scenario One ("from any American city"):
A man has multiple girlfriends on whom he can call at anytime to provide sexual favors. There are even slang terms thrown around for these women, for whom he has absolutely no respect; they're just sources of sexual gratification for him. Sometimes, he impregnates them, then abandons them, and they either abort their children or they get welfare from the government. Such men then continue this process with other women who are willing to be used as objects, hoping they find themselves a good one in the bunch eventually. The girlfriends repeat the same process with multiple men over the years, eventually having a brood of children, all from different daddies, none of whom pay child support or have any active role in either the woman's or the children's lives. Some of these men are even married, leaving their wife at home, while she wonders what (or who) he's doing at any given time. These cheating husbands bring home STDs they share with the wife, before deciding that the wife and 2 kids are not nearly as exciting as the hot little blonde girl at work. Rather, rinse, repeat.

Scenario Two (from Mormon Fundamentalist communities, including the FLDS, and others):
Women willingly choose to share their husband with other women, and they have a big family where all the parents contribute in child rearing, financially, and by helping one another out. Divorce is very rare and abandonment virtually unheard of. Women take care of their sister-wives' children to allow said sister-wives to pursue education, work outside the home, travel, etc. The man's wives always know who he is sleeping with, as he does not do as many American men do and cheat on his wives with a mistress unknown to his family. Because of this, the polygamist wives never fear hubby bringing home an STD. They never fear he will abandon them for a new pretty young thing he met in a bar. They never fear their children will become fatherless because, like many american dads, he decides chasing after hot young things is more important than raising his children. The polygamist father is present for his children's birthdays, events, he plays sports with them, teaches them, gives them meaningful work around the home or family business or farm.

Now, CedarMill, do you really mean to tell me that both of these scenarios of "polygamy" are equivalent?

Creating children with multiple women is not an acceptable way to make new citizens.

Says who? You? I don't happen to think it's ideal myself, but it's not something the government or the church needs to get involved with.

there is not an ancient tradition, backed up by scripture, for cloning, human/animal hybrids, or anchor babies.

However, 85% of world societies have or do practice polygamy, including many of the societies of our European forebears, Native Americans, and others including the more obvious and well-known such as Africans, Asians, and Middle Eastern societies, including historic Judaism.

Find me an ancient precedent for human cloning and then we'll chat some more.

Do you also believe the government should get to approve who you marry? You can apply to the government and hope they feel your choice is suitable? Maybe the government could just start arranging marriages for everyone, that way citizens are produced only in an "acceptable" way? Who would elect the U.S. Federal Marriage Czar, or would they be appointed? Should said marriage czar also regulate specifically which sexual acts married persons can engage in? Or the frequency thereof? Should said Marriage Czar also decide when, how many, or even if a couple should have children, that way we have only an acceptable number of new citizens?

Your statist tendencies scare me.

There is nothing wrong with promoting monogamous hetero relationships as your favorite sort, but you should not expect the government to do this. It is not their place. And as a free country, you must be prepared to realize that some people might not have the same preference you do, and you will have to learn to live with that. Otherwise, we would need not only a Federal Marriage Czar, but also an official State Religion and State-appointed Priests to keep everyone in line with your ideas of the only way to be "acceptable".
