Honestly, I don't see why we give corporations an easier time than individuals.

However, many states limit partnership sizes for tax purposes, so there is a logic to limitiing civil unions to two people.

Also, if they're formed around the logic that you need to address the legal relationship between two people who tend to raise children/reproduce themselves, through adoption or procreation, or whatever, there is legal logic to the idea that to make things simple only two people can share the partnership status at one time.

You're free to break off the legal relationship and reform it with any ONE other person you chose. However, how are you going to control the conduct of your life when you're sharing these basic rights and responsibilities, duties and obligations with more than one other adult?

Let's limit it to a union of two people at any one time.
