"Man and man and man and wife and wife"

There's a nice piece on gay marriage, polyamory, and the "slippery slope" over at Andrew Sullivan's blog, written by guest blogger Julian Sanchez. The gist of the piece is, A) the slope doesn't really go anywhere particularly bad, and more to the point, B) it's actually not all that slippery anyway. I have copied it for my own records because I can never find anything in AS's archives, so if you want to read the essay and it's slipped off the main page, I can send you a .txt file of it.
EDIT: Do not, under any circumstances, read the commentary at Julian Sanchez's blog. It turns out that the obnoxiousness of flame wars is constant for a wide variety of literacy levels. This is where intellectual-elitists are missing the point -- it's trivially easy to be bright and also an asshole.
