With both gay marriage and drug decriminalization, for example, I actually see the “slippery slope” argument as partially true (even though there is really no rational reason to continue to oppose either policy). I’m noticing a lot of people (on Internet forums, anyways) say that there really is no rational reason to oppose consensual relationships between any two people (including incest, as long as substantial birth-control is used) or decriminalization of all drugs.
But is this a consequence of a dangerous slippery slope, or the consequence of the same legitimate arguments being true in those cases?
