Words - Why Books Burn

We have an old dictionary that says “marriage” is between one man and one woman.  We have a much older Bible that says the same thing.  The meaning stood unchanged for 5000 years.

Not anymore.  The other day an environmentalist in Argentina made news by marrying a large … tree.  As it turns out he is late to the party.  The word marriage lost its virginity decades ago and now that trees are in the mix, I guess it has no meaning at all.

Wait a minute.  If the meaning of words is now variable and speculative, dictionaries are obsolete.  There is no English language.  Not to worry though.  That’s why we have Wikipedia.  Wikens using computers change history and the meaning of words with the touch of a button.

What to do with old Bibles and other books that clearly don’t portray the modern momentary meaning of words?

What did Hitler do?  Books burn.
