RE Thinking Our Victorian Values

This article from New Scientist, Men from polygamous countries live longer than men from monogamous ones. Seems the secret to a longer life for men comes in the form of 2 or more wives. Here's the addy for the article, or simply check on the headline above:

This could easily kick me up into a rant about "Victorian Values" and the original reason for monogamy being a control device from the organized churches to keep people just happy enough to remain members of the church and populate society, but controlled enough to not have TOO much fun (most druid, wiccan, and pagan religions consider abundant sex- between consenting adults mind you-to be a step towards heaven and godliness), but I'll sum this up by making the following statement:

"Perhaps the secret to a long life IS mental happiness and contentment, however it might be found."

Just a thought.
