EDIT: It's just a matter of time.
I "fear" it because I do not wish to see this change occur. While what you say is true, you can tell a lot about someone by the language they use, the attention span of the average person is very short. One simple switch of terms can render something horrific suddenly palatable.
It is ironic that a thread about the politics of semantics should get sidetracked by semantics. Perhaps "concerned" would have been a better choice of words to describe my feelings on the matter than "fear".
