Marriage Equality

I first thought this before I ever heard it, yet it's so relatively sound that of course others would suggest it: Declare all existing marriages civil unions. The state then only recognizes civil unions. Marriage remains the domain of the church. You would just then need a better term than "civil union" to describe people who are now married. We're "unified" doesn't quite cut it.

The Safety of Night

In an unsafe neighborhood, everyone out at night seems a high potential for being up to no good.

In a safe neighborhood, everyone should theoretically be comfortable being out at night, but there's also the reality/perception that people not being out at night is what makes it safe.

Ideal would be both the observation and reality that it is safe out at night, except for those who like being afraid of things or imposing that fear onto others.
