A great piece by Daniel Greenfield at Sultan Knish,“The Massacre of Meaning” really gets at the core of what ails our postmodern society.

The way words are used is the way that meaning is created. To massacre meaning, all you need to do is kill the truth.

If the meaning of the words that we use to communicate is continually morphing and changing, to the point where we can no longer agree on what “is” is, communication itself will eventually become impossible. When anything can mean anything, nothing can mean anything.
