How to Bias a Discussion
Everybody knows that how you slant your language has a huge impact on how people think. So, for instance:
We see this all the time in the Mainstream Media. That’s why you and I are routinely called “anti-abortion” instead of “pro-life.”
And it’s why, when the Minnesota Senate recently reaffirmed the normal understanding of marriage the Press dutifully called this “banning gay marriage.”
That’s like talking about “banning” marrying your dog or the Eiffel Tower.
It’s not “banning” anything. It’s upholding the sane conception of marriage and not entering into the delusions of people who have insane conceptions of marriage.
