“Slippery Slope” arguments are intellectually lazy. They assume that people will behave in ways they do not, for example, calling the Health Care bill a “slippery slope into (demonization of choice)” implies that next, we will vote in a European-style retirement system, expand health care into Government provision, take away peoples' guns and change Labor Day to May 1st.
