Two Thoughts.

There seem to be lots of people concerned that allowing two people of the same sex to marry each other will lead to people trying to marry dogs. But I don't think this is likely to be an issue. I mean, as I understand it, it's easier to adopt a child if you're a man living with a dog than if you're a man living with another man.

And a note to myself, re puzzles: Don't be afraid to be straightforward. Actually, that can be a note to anyone designing puzzles, although hopefully it's a lesson most have learned already (usually the hard way, at some point).
