No, because centuries and centuries of one semantic convention should not have to be changed. [/quote]

But things do change. Our language changes to reflect that (unless you're French, I suppose).

For most of us, when we "roll up" the window in our cars, it involves a button, not a handle we actually turn. When I was a kid, "looking up [a piece of information]" involved printed books. For my daughter, that phrase is more likely to involve the computer. Heck "cut and paste" used to actually mean cutting and pasting, not simply a series of keystrokes. The meaning of words and phrases changes constantly in an evolving culture. [/quote]

You are correct. Could we just keep this one thing, just ONE thing?  Man and woman, period, end of sentence. Just like Obama/Dumbass believed four years ago. [/quote]

Why is this one thing so important to you? Can you explain how it's different from people who wanted to keep marriages racially segregated?

As a conservative, I don't think the government has any business preventing me from marrying who I will (assuming no harm - that is, the government does have an interest in establishing minimum ages for marriage). As a conservative, I am appalled by the idea that the federal government should be involved in preserving your semantic deities.[/quote]

Federal government?  Review the 10th amendment please, stop asking for exceptions. [/quote]
