Marriage Equality
The Americans all the sudden seem very proud about what did happen. Court did decide that equal marriage is legal and seems to wipe away all the different laws in the various staes of the USA
Everywhere at the social media you see people cheering and feeling 'proud' at the court decision, well, of course it is a good sign, that there is from now on no difference anymore in marriage between two people that love eachother, that is a huge step forward and (finally) a slap into the face of the conservative religious lobby.
I like to cheer for America, but I should not be me if I do not raise my finger right away. This is not the end, this is just the beginnen. As long as law is talking about diffences, or allowing various group of people to marry, that is still a strange line in the law. As if you have humans and gays, who now have the same rights. Isn't that weird? And isn' t that easy to skip that part, or to make exceptions for other gourp of people still?
My law should be that there should be no law. Marriage for everyone should be normal and not a written rule.
As long as it is written in the law it is not a natural thing and not accepted. There is a long way to go, but a giant step forward is made indeed.

Word bans and climate change denial
Dear hans.
In Florida, government employees were forbidden from using the words “sustainability” “climate change” and “global warming.”
An investigative report found that the unwritten policy dates to 2011, when Republican Governor Rick Scott took office and appointed a new director to the state's Department of Environmental Protection (DEP).
It’s one thing to be amongst the right-wing fringe of climate change deniers, which Scott is.
It’s another thing entirely to impose that ideology on professionals by restricting their freedom of speech.
DEP workers are the people we rely on to develop policies to mitigate the disastrous effects of climate change. How can they do that if Orwellian administrators ban the necessary vocabulary?
Tell Rick Scott to stop banning words!
