There was a time when some of us tried variations on the traditional

for long, my first marriage (a polyandrous triad) lasted only six
years, though my second _very extended_ marriage lasted more than ten
years. I've never considered a relationship that involved subordinating
personal personality, I'm too much of an individualist, but I have seen
such seem to work, usually with a religious component -- alien to me, as
I've been an atheist since I was younger than you are. Despite the
alleged separation of church and state, the government recognizes
relationships that conform to relatively recent xtian patterns.
From what I could figure out, it was two
origionally seperate people acting
as one. Now, this system seems very interesting
to me, but what about
say... paying taxes? Or other legal matters? They could have registered
them as a single entity (child), and then certifited their individual
deaths... but one would think that two would be descriminated against just
by that. What about communications? Do they think alike, talk, use hand
signals, or body language? Are they two males/females, or one male and one
female? Tim D. Hotze

They say that politics makes strange bedfellows.
Of course, the main reason they cuddle up is to screw somebody else.
