Slippery-slopism. I won't say it's impossible, but I'm leery of any argument that begins with a semi-hysterical piece of fiction. It smacks too much of the "If we allow gay marriages now, we'll be allowing people to marry animals next year!" argument. At any rate, your link doesn't really have any bearing on your claim that everyone that opposes these nebulous forces you mention will be disappeared. > > Bzzzzt. Wrong.

Given your lack of response to the above, can I take it that you accept the examples I've given as debunking your claim? Adam C.
