...both sides agree with Paul. In fact, advocates of same-sex marriage and their opponents concur that it is better to marry than almost anything else. They both embrace the idea that marriage is the bedrock of a stable society, and that it is the ideal method of civilizing wayward and wanton males, something every society must do.

Acid blockers like Pepcid and Tagamet, on the other hand, go to the root of the problem by suppressing the production of acid in cells lining the interior of the stomach without interfering with normal digestion. These cells normally produce acid when a form of histamine called H2 "docks" with receptors in the cell walls, much like...
