We'd all have time for a second family, if we turned off our computers and never turned them back on again.
What on Earth else might I have meant?

I thought you were talking about your two wives, tv and the internet.
I meant what is Bigamy?
I think season 5 and 6 are the creative peak of the series.
Bigamy is when you are married to two people at once with one of those marriages being illegal, ie performed as if it you were legally free to marry but not really legal because the law says no.
It's not bigamy if you don't go the legal route but have two spouses as I understand it.

It's Polygamy's little brother.
Okay then. Eww.
Trek should have been brave enough to show humans in multiple marriages at once instead of just leaving it up to those kinky aliens.
Again. Eww.
Two husbands, or more, all ignorant of the other, each living in a different nearby town, and you get to decide who is the least annoying that you can put up with at any one moment.
It's basic stuff.
Plox has three wives.
Each of those wives has two more husbands, and each of those husbands has two more wives and...
Three is the number they like.
Less than three and you're a loser, more than three is either immoral and maybe criminal?
Phlox tried to pimp one of his Wives on Trip for a night of sportsex.
Good times.

I remember there was a short story in one of the Dangerous Visions books where people lived like "a braid", a certain amount of years with varying people and then the braid crossed and you were with new people or something.. I dunno I read those books when I was 14 and even then they didn't seem very dangerous.

If there were not Bigamy laws, even mildly intelligent people could file a tax return that would make them a considerable amount of money.
Sometimes 4 people fall in love.
But they are not allowed the legal protection and advantages of marriage because the IRS, or whatsoever the taxman is called where you live, are worried that some CEO is going to marry all his employees and screw over the government after possibly Microsoft becomes legally a mom and pop storefront.

eh, but if it's love you can just consider your group married, have a nice ceremony, and everyone chooses a legal marriage that is the most financially advantageous to the group.
The wives are married to each other as well (sometimes?) and the children are raised together in a collective fund. There's also questions of inheritance... Seriously? You never watched Big Love? There's even a couple tacky reality TV shows on the subject (I don't watch Reality TV.). From Big Love, it seems that the FBI cares about married in the eyes of God and will throw people in jail for pretending that God alone can unify persons that the state will not.
Terrestrial Television and I parted ways a long time ago.
Everything is above board.
Surely if everyone is above age the FBI wouldn't care if 10 people are all living together and calling themselves married? Isn't it just when folk try and financially benefit from what the state has declared you only get one shot at a time at?
Oh that's right, everything is on your computer now. It's like you took the lesser wife and made her completely subservient to the prime wife so now only the prime wife is visible.

Individuals in isolation sure.
But I was referencing my limited knowledge about orthodox Mormonism.
here's somethings from a while back.

It seems the FBI is mostly chasing down Mormon polygamists because of the child brides raised in ignorance so that 14 year old girls expect to marry 50 year old men as status quo, and roll with it.
The two acts, polygamy and paedophilia seem inseparable to the FBI so "most" polygamists are targeted until it's verified how dangerous they are to children.

I actually couldn't finish part 1.
I think Voyager has made the Borg stale. Where once the Borg were these mysterious beings that were deadly because they adapted so quickly to their enemies that resistance really -was- futile, now they're trumpet blowers who don't realize that, in space, no one can hear you blow.
They're just run-of-the-mill bad-guys complete with a monarch that goes into cheesy villainous soliloquies and monologues. It's really awful what the series did to the Borg. But I can't blame Voyager, completely. They're only emulating what the movies made popular, what First Contact had done.
I don't know if I can ever finish part 1 or if I could stomach part 2 at this point. I really tried.
Don't worry the Borg got revenge for their kitten-ized treatment in Treklit when they killed billions of people and assimilated thousands of worlds. They owned the non-Borg bad.
Sounds (dare I say it) purr-fect.
