Assignment, Lounge: Let's define "love".

* "sex", uh no.

* old, young, no.

* Am talking, starting point for discussion - mature, not infatuation, not necessarily physical lust.

* Am talking, not generic, very specific, very personal, not substitutional

Looks like I can't define it, despite setting barriers/limits, is why I'm assigning it out, Lounge

From "Prince" Charles: "Whatever 'love' is." -- apparently Camilla knew the answer!1

From Queen Victoria: "I'll take that one (from India?) over there."

From Madelyn KAHN, "History of the World, Part I" -
