Gene:

Yes, I already know this.

My point is that whatever the word means now --- is not what Semite originally meant.

This is another thing I have been keeping an eye on --- the changing meanings of words.

For instance --- terrorism has changed about seven times in the past fifty years. It changed again on December 13, 2003 with the passing of HR 2417.

That was my only point --- it is of no concern to me beyond that.
