Okay! May be polygamy makes sense. Better yet! Polygamy may be the answer 
for the next millenium. Why...?
Because, most people who are pro-monogamy are the creators of multitude 
of hungry mouths. The polygamists (you won't find it in a dict.) will not
do that (barring few exceptional cases like Idi Amin). Or just imagine,
an army of children marching through malls, movie-theatres, and restaurants.
