[Archaea]

With domestic partnerships and "marriage", it seems we spend a lot of time fighting over a distinction with barely a difference.

We fight over symbols.

In the past fights were over something, such as freedom, voting, and matters that really affected lives.

Now we fight over little picture items using the language of the big picture items, almost mocking the accomplishments of the past by invoking them in a pipsqueak debate.

Has our philosophical life become so meaningless?
