[P]ublic school teacher[.] LOL! I knew it! :-) [Y[ou still haven't said anything substantive about why you think what you think[.] I haven't the slighest doubt that you're a "public school teacher" and a "citizen of the world"; moreover, have no reason to doubt out that you're a "writer," a "WIFE and MOM" (hysterical?), or a "biologist." Maybe...perhaps...you're even an "attorney." It's not impossible. But a "reader"? Not at all. "...[T]he problem, as I see it...[with] those "certain ways" of defining things...[is that when words are increasingly taught as malleable (and expressed similarly), the implications can be sweeping. In particular, when there are groups who - by influencing, even controlling, the direction of that incremental redefinition - stand to reap gains from doing so...I'm specifically opposed to moral relativism, a major tool of which is coercive semanticism." Message 20316764 How can I make more clear what I stand for, and why I'm concerned about moral relativism? [Y]ou must be a [R]epublican[.] ROFL!!!!! LPS5
