[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] I find that slippery slope arguments don't work for many people. [/ QUOTE ] They shouldnt work for anyone. They are the ultimate strawman, forcing a debate about arguments that were never made and have uncertain and unmeasurable likelihood of ever being an issue. [/ QUOTE ] To deny the validity of the slippery slope when it comes to the actions of government requires blinders. Chamberlin's supporters found that out the hard way. The slippery slope is not only not a fallacy, it is practically a law of government behaviour. Whenever government does *anything* you can be damn sure they'll be taking the next step soon. Hint: turns out the tobacco lawyers were right, just ask McDonald's corporation. natedogg |
