I came to the same conclusion as you did above, especially concerning the legalization of gay marriage discussed in other threads in this forum. But this could certainly lead to some interesting arrangements.
All kinds of groups could form contactual relationships to share social security, medical, death benefits, etc... I wonder how much the government would have to be involved in these?
I guess my wife's and my families could put one of these arrangements together and the government would leave us alone. But what if all the (Christian only, atheist only, white only, black only, etc..) members of my family, or motorcycle club, or neighborhood, or city, or state, or country would form one of these contactual agreements? The possibilities are endless.
I know this seems silly in the context of marriage and polygamy, I'm just speculating, LOL.
