    It is good to see that all of the rational answers here are in the affirmative - not always the case on this heavily and at times illogically moderated site.

    Whilst I wholeheartedly support the right for people to live with and marry their partners of any gender.... I actually wonder if the whole institution of marriage is still relevant in the modern era? We live for so much longer and in such better condition that it is hard to imagine spending so many years with one person. I think that it makes far more sense to enshrine the legal aspects, duties, rights and obligations of marriage into civil unions; leaving those that desire some ritual the choice of marriage of they so wish.

    The sad thing is that with so many people moving across border for work that marriage is required to establish legal status - that is silly and irrational.

    Those that are arguing along the lines of religious and/or moral thinking are merely expressing defunct and discredited reasoning.

    Seeing as the topic is already raised above by other posters.... it is not the cost of out-dated, hereditary, leaders that is the issue, but rather whether or not they serve any tangible purpose at all. Also, what it says about our development as the human race that some (an ever decreasing amount as well...) feel the need to elevate some due to an accident of birth. I reject even 1p or 1y of my money being spent on this ridiculous and utterly meaningless pantomime. They are just people, born into total privilege.

    if you can put more than a shot of whiskey in your beer.... ask the barman to fill the thing up - I always do. Not satisfied, leave the beer and the bar without paying

    well written those who protest this expensive visit of one outdated expensive abstract to another. Governments have better ways to waste our money surely. What is the point of these people?

    There is far too much acceptance of fat people. Apologists abound! We say "lose weight" as an euphemism. Tell people to "lose fat". Tax junk food more, stop advertising sugar and fat-heavy foods on TV. Take VAT and GST off vegetables. Stop promoting sugar-filled fruit as healthy (in large doses they are not). Charge extra on buses and planes. Charge more for health care when the FAT require it for their lack of control. I am not ft because I control my diet and exercise regularly - this is called self-control.

    why is this surprising? In my country alone over 60% of people actually believe in a divine power or theistic explanation of the universe. What is so different than believing in Dec 2012? or Walking on water? or flying pigs and other irrational delusions?

    a sobering thought for all of us living on the Rim of Fire. The figure seems very low though... One could imagine it being much more. Still, we mustn't live our lies in fear of chance! Random chance brought us into being and randomness may return us to dust... the universe chunters along without any meaning irrespective.

    ...if you allow, in Law, the indiscriminate carrying of small, lethal firearms; well these problems are likely to arise are they not?

    To suggest (or imply), as someone has above, that the majority-vote of the Florida electorate is somehow a test of a Law's worth, is as laughable as it is absurd.

    If he drove with epilepsy then he is culpable and ethically reprehensible. I have sympathy for people with incurable conditions but there is a reason that laws are in place to lessen the negative impact that the impaired place society in when doing dangerous tasks (and operating a 2-tonne moving object is a a dangerous task).

    It speaks a lot about ourselves when we worry about these things. I accept that the world is full of ignorance and racism. If a person's opinion does not affect me then I cold really give a toss what they say or think. If it does affect me, well, that is an entirely different , matter.

    I would certainly defend myself against a racist attack (verbal or physical). I would object to being denied entry on the grounds of race... (and have done - let's face it no family restaurant likes a screaming row in the lobby). As to private opinions... who really cares?

    sickening and barbaric! It speaks very lowly of those who attempt to justify the death penalty. It serves no rational purpose.

    never had a chance to visit the daktory... frankly, here in NZ there is no need. But I can understand that up in Auckland establishing a decent supplier may be tricky; I always watch their developments with interest though. Massive double standards by the Keystones here in NZ. They are a terribly ill-disciplined and none too bright bunch. Very quick to break laws in order to enforce laws, sadly, - the NZ police. Constantly being caught doing so, then investigating themselves, and taking no action.... sound familiar?

    have seen him play 3 times. All modern jazz. Though I do enjoy his more 'pop' oriented albums as well; it is in Jazz where he shines brightest for me. Last time I saw him play was in London with Wayne Shorter. Front row, middle seats - LEGEND!
