>Straw Men falling down Slippery Slopes may sound like a Wizard of
>Oz site, but Stephen's Guide to the Logical Fallacies is in fact
>a trenchant analysis of classic argumentative "fake outs." You know
>-- the kind of logical points that seem to make sense but are in
>fact total bunk. Your parents probably introduced you to the classic
>False Dilemma ("Brush your teeth or comb your hair, junior."). You
>may also be familiar with the aforementioned slippery slope ("First
>they take our sling shots, then they take our submachine guns!"),
>or the last-ditch ad hominem attack ("What do you know, you're just
>a pampered ivy-league fratboy!"). You'll find plenty of other tips
>and tricks here.

>Zombie. Now, if only we could download the trailers.
