I have to say I find it amusing in the sense that many on the left routinely scoff at the slippery slope argument when it's applied to things they don't like, like gun rights. I'm not accusing you of this, but it's an extremely prevalent attitude.
Ain't that the ***** truth. I am dealing with that with my wife right now. I get being unhappy about the case, but my wife has been allowing it to affect her far too much and it has a lot to do with the slippery slope arguments, some of which aren't even plausible. I tried to mention this a couple of times, yesterday, when she was having one of her moments about the case and she just wasn't having it. I am not even discussing the case with her anymore because the next words out of my mouth will be that she is being irrational and I know the shitstorm that will be coming my way, then.
