"Although these differences may seem small, they are meaningful. In an average-height woman of 165 cm or an average-height man of 180 cm, they represent a difference of about 2 kg." A difference of 4 lbs is meaningful? What BS. I weigh myself everyday - over the course of a week, my weight varies by 4 lbs even though the long term average is now pretty stable.

Fox Host On Marriage Equality Decision: "What's To Prevent" 3 People From Getting Married Now?
Actually, Fox has a point. Biblically, it was OK to go with multiple wives accompanied by concubines - and still is, in some cultures. I think that the Government should keep out of sex and marriage. It is none of their business. In other news, heard at my wife's nail salon: "My brother is going to be pissed at this ruling. He is gay and he does NOT want to marry his partner. There is going to be a huge fight!"

SCOTUS Ruling Fallout
We should have had a single payer system covering everybody (aka "SOCIALISM" by the the right wing crazies) but at least this is is better than the previous system. The idea that healthcare should be available only to those who can pay for it is not in line with the values of a caring society.
