Then you are arguing that the law that is currently in effect, and which was voted and upheld with Democrat's help, is a "gross violation of human rights."

Maybe you should also petition and push for help on the Democrat side instead of just pointing the finger across the isle.

If I know that by jumping off of a bridge I will get hurt but I still jump, it is the bridge that is at fault.

Brilliant logic on your side!

It is a valid point. But his skepticism is still warranted. Theranos was also masquerading as very scientific and was full of laurels. No difference! The undercurrent is this: "do not dare to express doubts on this African-based invention, because otherwise you are a racist."

That's why I objected to the "harsh" tone. It is an application of PC thinking.

What's wrong with him expressing his skepticism?! And what makes you entitled to express harsh opinions?!

Theranos was also looking at only tiny amounts of blood drawn from a finger prick. And everyone was on that bandwagon, as you are now. And telling the others to shut-up and not dare to "wrong-think".
