Sometimes our legal definitions are out of synch with basic scientific knowledge and / or the promotion of human rights. Our definition of "person" once precluded abducted and purchased humans of African descent!

Agreed.

So why couldn't I get Medicare when I was 64.3 years old. (I had to wait until my birthday at 65)


Again you keep insisting an opinion is a fact. No one can definitively say when a human life begins & be factual.

For the same reason that gasoline still has the 9/10 of a cent and the end of the price. That's just the way it is. LOL.

Of course.

Commentary:
I think many Righties have trouble differentiating between fact & opinion. In fact,
they use them interchangeably & I don't see Lefties doing that very much.

if you listened to ABC's This Week, you would have heard what d d myers said and the reporter from chicago had to say. both pushing the obama OPINION, this is about women's rights and how republicans want to deny those rights.

They do, don't they?

Heres another example:

Social Security is a legally mandated pyramid.

Fact or opinion?

Misguided opinion.

The definition of a pyramid scheme is:
A pyramid scheme is a non-sustainable business model that involves promising participants payment or services, primarily for enrolling other people into the scheme, rather than supplying any real investment or sale of products or services to the public

Social Security works so long as it is funded by the next generation of "investors", right? If that stops, it will fail.

How does it not fit the definition? It seems to on the surface.
