The Ice Storm??!!??
"And last time I watched "The Ice Storm," it was all the wife swapping and key parties that seemed pretty damn pathetic."
Yes, because of course the "Ice Storm" is a documentary, not a piece of fiction, the purpose of which is to make exactly that point. Good argument, there.
And it works for everything too. Say, "Last time I watched 24, it was pretty clear that torture really does work." So, there. Don't come and tell me torture's a bad thing that doesn't work.
Come to think of it, I bet torturing people is hard, which, I must assume, makes it a worthy undertaking in Ms. Hepola's view, given her understanding of the relationship between how hard something is and its worthiness.
Seriously, I find it rather amazing how any questioning of the wonderfulness of monogamy always conjures up in response a storm of shoddy reasoning (see above), ad hominen attacks ("these guys are losers"), and non sequiturs ("If you don't like monogamy, don't get married;" yeah, because, I guess, sex is all there is to a marriage, right?).
Frankly, all that stinks of denial.
