Today I learned that I'm offended when people try to use reframes and redefinitions to sidestep the serious democratic work of going to the public and explaining why there should be a new change to our system of manners, customs, and redistribution.
I'm personally in favor of many such changes! And I think that we are all honored by decent, public conversations about what we owe to each other.
And that's specifically why I bristle at those who act as if they can get their way by twisting language a bit and taking umbrage at those who don't play along in the word game.
