SLIPPERY SLOPE: Jose Solano
Just a short comment on "slippery slope." Somehow the postings I've been reading seem to think that polygamy is further down the slippery slope than homosexuality. Certainly this cannot be based on any major religious/cultural perception or tenet. For ancient Judaism and the not so ancient Sephardic Jews, in the Moslem world, among certain Mormons and numerous other people there is nothing wrong with polygamy. The case from nature can be far more strongly made for polygamy than for homosexuality. Till just recently it is homosexuality that has been at the bottom end of the slippery slope of human sexual relationships. Powerful political action has raised its position on the slope but in reality the only thing further down the slope is the very common multi-partner homosexuality for which government may in time be issuing "marriage" licenses.
