- I'd like to see any argument about morality that doesn't
- ultimately devolve into some kind of religious argument.
- But, if you assume that both marriages in question were monogamous
- agreements, then you could make some kind of "breach of contract"
- argument out of it - add "lying" to the list if the other spouses
- aren't aware of the act. I'm not sure if Walter's original parameters
- specified monogamous (although I expect they did, even if it wasn't
- explicitly stated).
