A new frontier in civil unions ?

Well, shoot - that's not much of a flashback ....

Let's try a little further back .... like 1830

... or the ongoing polyglut in islam ... that's a tad further back ....

Or we could go to the book of Kings - Who were those two fine examples of monogamy back then .... Saul and David come to mind ....

LOL - just playin' with ya, Due - Don't have any flashback music to accompany that history, howsomever - I kinda pass on the mtc (mormontabernaclechoir) stuff and not too many hymns address the issue (surprise, surprise).

Oh well ... nothing new under the sun after all, eh ?

PS: Why any man in his right mind would have more than one wife at a time, or civil union, is way beyond this aggie's understanding. Hell - one of 'em is enuf ta drive a sane man nuts.

A new frontier in civil unions: A notary public in Brazil has sanctioned a three-person union among a man and two women, reports the BBC. The three don't appear to be publicity seekers out to take a stand—in fact, this happened months ago and just came to light this week. The trio has lived together in Rio for three years, sharing the humdrum stuff of life like a joint checking account to pay the bills. They sought the union for legal protection in case one of the three dies.

Official who approved the union: "We are only recognizing what has always existed. We are not inventing anything," says Claudia do Nascimento Domingues. "For better or worse, it doesn't matter, but what we considered a family before isn't necessarily what we would consider a family today."
Lawyer who vows to fight the decision: It's "absurd and totally illegal," and "something completely unacceptable which goes against Brazilian values and morals."

Life is Change
How it differs from the rocks
I've seen their ways too often for my liking
New worlds to gain
My life is to survive
And be alive
For you.
