No monogamous male is not an oxymoron. There are men who don't cheat on their wives. Shocking I know Monogamous male would be an oxymoron in an open marriage though. would it not?

So now I'm not allowed to have any opinions because it might affect how I vote oh boy..........

Of course you can have opinions,but should your opinion determine how other people live their lives in your voting process? Throughout history allowing people to determine the rights of others has had chilling consequences.

As bill mahr once said "the only thing keeping a man loyal is his options" While of course some men don't cheat....most do at some point in their lives.

The voting process should determine what bests helps a society move forward.....it shouldn't determine how people live their lives in their own homes however.

This post is not about voting. Obviously someone's opinion is going to influence their vote. I'll say it again. There is not going to be any candidate whose platform includes being against open marriage. Trust me on that one. Even if a law were to pass against open marriage it could never be enforced. What would the punishment be? Would the woman be stoned by the village people and be forced to wear a scarlet letter?

Draconian laws can always be enforced if you want them to be.

No a law against open marriage CANNOT be enforced. If you think it can please elaborate and tell me exactly how YOU would enforce that law and what the consequences would be.
