There are a lot of grey areas in law and they usually go a court of appeals and eventually SCOTUS. A SCOTUS decision generally becomes settled law, but sometimes a SCOTUS decision only decides on piratical issues and leaves others issues in the grey area. Some of theses issues subsequently work their way before the court.<br /><br />STEM is largely confined to well-defined concepts (sets with specified borders). Most of life is not amenable to that because ordinary language is imprecise owing to its richness, which allows for economy of expression and the inclusion of quality in addition to quality.<br /><br />STEM eliminates from consideration most of what most people find interesting and important in life owing to formalization, quantification, and technical definition. Most areas of life cannot be formalized and quantified without loss of relevant information and affect.Tom Hickeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08454222098667643650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2761684730989137546.post-47244927259433978322017-05-31T08:32:43.171-04:002017-05-31T08:32:43.171-04:00Q: "Are we out of money?"

They owned him. Carter did not "call on Zbig to advise him" so much as Zbig called on Carter to be his figurehead candidate.
