But, politically, that difference can make all the difference in the world!

It sounds like you're suggesting the conclusion that I had rejected out-of-hand.

Are you saying that the American public (remember, the Dims are only following the polls) are intentionally deluding themselves in the hopes the problem will go away?

It makes more sense to me for them (the public) to say "big deal, let the fags marry."

Shalom.

Well, I don't really know how all this is going to wind up playing out, but I do understand the reasons for which we sometimes come up with new terms that are the functional equivalent of old terms and different in name only. "Distinctions without a difference" can function to make proposed changes more palatable sometimes.
