Re: Monogamy
Well, love is a man made thing, and the topic at hand, or at least regarding Monogamy/Polygamy is love. Both ideas focus on love, and not necessarily on sex.
Taking the moral/religious things out of context, humans have penises and vaginas to reproduce. The whole idea behind attraction is that you reproduce with the person you are attracted to. Reproduction then guarantees that your species will go on. Hormones attract you to the opposite sex so you make babies. That's really the simple science of it all.
Polygamy would never work. We chased those silly Mormons to Utah until they stopped having multiple lovers, and we as a society have shunned it. I won't complain. Along with over-population came disease, and disease leads to death. Nature has a tendency to fix itself, especially over long periods of time. I know people say that humans have screwed the earth over, but if it becomes that bad, we'll just blow ourselves up - problem solved.
So, from a standpoint that neglects morals and religion, I am pro Monogamy, and therefore I'm obviously pro Monogamy from any other moral standpoint.
