I have also often heard from its proponents that polygamy discourages the man from adulterous relationships outside his marriage(s). This of course, is totally false, as often men polygamists feel even more encouraged to acquire more concubines with an even greater level of irresponsibility. I've seen some of these "polygamists" in action and know that legalizing the horrible practice of polygamy would only further degrade (i.e. further corrupt) the institution of marriage.

Let's not have concubines and harems in North America, thank you! Everything you say about polygamy is true.
