No, I want to know the people's view on polygamy.

What's yours?

Polygamists should have to choose 1 spouse to whom "marriage" benefits should pass.

There are legitimate state interests in limiting the scope of marriage to two individuals. There are not legitimate state interests in limiting the scope of marriage to people of different genders (as discriminating on the basis of gender is not a legitimate state interest.)

I just want to point out that the state has all kinds of interests that it should not be allowed to enforce on the people. "State interest" is just not a justification for anything.

"State interest" is just not a justification for everything.
