Language evolves in society, it always has.
Gay used to mean 'happy' before 'homosexual' (for example).

I have another 2000 examples if you want them....

Language changes...

    Does that stop the concept from entering your mind?
    When confronted with uncomfortable new data disrupting your beliefs, do you ignore the new data and stick with your more comfortable beliefs?

          I realized it was bollocks...

          I accepted people and natural systems as they are . (and not as some bored intellectuals think they should be).

          (I had a tough time with hierarchy, too - but..it's the way it is)

              totally agree...
              Meritocratic rather than dominant

              dominant = communism
              meritocratic = capitalism

                  lolol....and like i said - communism does work. I have never said it didn't.
                  It's a good, efficient, system.

                  But it doesn't scale up.
                  For it to scale up past small community size, it requires hierarchies of dominance for the larger organizational structures.
                  Capitalism , (in the real free market sense of the word) , scaled up , is made up of a million small communist minded communities...
