No, that's @
Witty's argument against incestual marriage, not mine.
I'm very much FOR gay marriage, and polygamy too in principal... just trying to elucidate why, because I think the "they're consenting adults and it doesn't affect anyone else" argument breaks down somewhat because the same can be said for incestual couples.
