"She adds that before Pat was brought into the family she and her husband discussed the issue and the decision was taken by both of them."

Ignoring for the moment that Pat is financially dependent upon Denroy, and that this interview took place in his presence, I wonder just how much respect this brother has for how any woman, let alone his wife, feels, to be bringing this kind of threesome argument to her. In any event, until I see where Denroy says explicitly and unequivocally that had Pat objected, he would not have brought the woman into the family, I remain unconvinced.

"The difference between what the southern racists are advocating and what I am advocating can be summed up in two words: FREE WILL!!!!!!!!"

Ugli, after emancipation in the American South, many slaves remained on the plantation and in the big house...of their own free will. What is free will worth when the disparity in power that one person has over the other is as great as it is in these situations. Ask any woman who remains in an abusive relationship...of their own free will.

"The same two words apply here as well!!!!!!!!

Huh ? That historically, "wives may or may not have been allowed to have multiple spouses" has what to do with free will ???? Did you not use the word "allowed"?
