Of Opinions, Advice and Law

Three short little words......different in intonation, length and (rightfully) meaning.

Opinion: a view or judgement not necessarily based on fact or knowledge.

Advice: somebody's opinion about what another person should do

Law: the collection of rules imposed by authority

It's a wonder anyone could get them mixed up, it's downright embarassing that the people who do get them mixed up are representing the population. But I suppose it really isn't that hard to criss cross the three when the authority has an opinion and rather than expound it as advice, turns it into law. Who then governs the authority?
