Frankie and Johnny Were Lovers
The view of monogamy is not new, exclusive to Conservatives today, but can be found in the Old Testament of the bible where God speaks very directly about the "dos and don'ts" of life in the Ten Commandments.
When Moses returned from the mountain with the ten tablets, one of them said. "Thou Shall Not Commit Adultery." (Deuteronomy 5:18)
The theme of murder with a weapon in a love triangle has been a common theme going back to 1901 with the song "Frankie and Johnny Were Lovers", which has been recorded by 256 different people.
In this instance, the man, Johnny, had a gun which the woman, Frankie got ahold of and shot him dead because she found out from the bartender at the local "watering hole" that her man Johnny had made love to another woman named Nellie Bly.
Hendrix's "Hey Joe" is definitely more current but in that case, it was a woman who was murdered for infidelity - both songs have one thing in common though - a loaded gun in the hands of an irrational person.
These "Crimes of Passion" would not necessarily have taken place if there weren't any guns handy.
As for this representing monogamy only, the murder arranged by King David in bible times to cover up his adulterous relationship with Bathsheba and to make it so that she could be added as "one of his wives" in a polygamous culture, indicates that even when monogamy is a value, polygamy was also a solution, but the adulterous love affair was the cause of an innocent man, Uriah. (2 Samuel 11:1-27J)
I wonder if Norquist would feel the same way when the murder victims are men instead of women.
With the "double standard" in today's world and the second amendment in existence, it does seem as if Norquist thinks this is justifiable.
Even though the bible says, "Vengeance is mine thus saith the Lord," as human beings, sometimes things are taken in our own hands.
