Tails and Legs


Abraham Lincoln once famously asked during a courtroom trial,

“If you call a tail a leg, how many legs does a dog have?”

Well?

The answer is … 4. Calling something what it isn’t doesn’t make it what it isn’t.

Bonus question:

What current-event hot-button topic of debate today does this witticism apply to?
