Your problem is that you believe that words can have objective meaning, but as we learned in the Supreme Court's Obamacare ruling yesterday and in this ruling today that language can be redefined at a whim to support whatever the current agenda happens to be. I'm reminded of the following exchange from Lewis Carol's Through the Looking Glass:
"When I use a word," Humpty Dumpty said, in a rather scornful tone, "it means just what I choose it to mean - neither more nor less."
"The question is," said Alice, "whether you can make words mean so many different things."
"The question is," said Humpty Dumpty, "which is to be master - that's all."
"The question is," said Alice, "whether you can make words mean so many different things."
"The question is," said Humpty Dumpty, "which is to be master - that's all."
Our government is making it increasingly clear they, and not we, are the masters.
