All the current national debates are such now. A day of strikes like 9/11 taxed the American need to have easy definitions. Marriage is a simple matter of redefining a term within the framework of "civil rights." The second amendment is easy to reframe in the context of urban "sensibilities."
These affected "Tory post modernists" of our time should know what sort of damage they are doing. A sound tarring and feathering might help them to see things in a more conventional manner?
