logical fallacy?
::OK, I'm going to put something in the article about its having emerged in the 1980s. In Wikipedia this would be banned as original research, but given that Aschlafly sanctions original work, given that my evidence is shown above and that the research can be easily replicated by many people with access to public libraries, I think it's acceptable. In Wikipedia the ban on OR is partly because people want to see source citations as evidence of some outside judgement of ''importance,'' but how the phrase emerged is obviously relevant here.

I'll grant that I'm not an expert on the subject of logic (next semester, though!) but does a slippery slope argument ''have'' to be a logical fallacy? If all of the "if ''p'' then ''q''" statements are true, then the argument isn't a fallacy, correct? [[User:HelpJazz|Help]][[User talk:HelpJazz|Jazz]] 19:07, 16 October 2007 (EDT)
