The San Fran Chronicle is getting quite diverse in its opinion pieces these days – perhaps it always was, but I just didn’t know it. Earlier this week, the piece slamming arrogant scientist, and yesterday, this one wondering if those who predict same-sex marriage will lead to legalized polygamy might be right after all..

(playing off of the recent Canadian study on the issue)

Confession time: I am one of those who, for years, has argued that legalizing same-sex marriage would not open the door for polygamy. The limit for marriages would remain two, I argued. Two doesn’t mean three or four.

Wrong. In these politically correct times, do-gooders expand definitions until words — or institutions — lose all meaning. Marriage can mean whatever you want.
