Welcome to IWETHEY!

New <SIGH> ... That old nonsense concept again. :-(
our lower-case poet proclaims:
Legislation of morality is a slippery slope.
This particular "slippery slope" is a red herring: ALL legislation is _by nature_ 'legislation of morality'.
   Christian R. Conrad
Mechanisation

As our souls are slowly stolen
The wheels of progress keep steamrolling
Mechanisation melts our minds
To drive the furnace that drives us blind. -- [link|http://www.vergenet.net/~conrad/poetry/mechanisation.html|© Conrad Parker, 1993]
New Hey, that's *my* point! :D
Hence, not a herring of any color. I'm arguing to not legislate. My sentence carries exactly the same meaning (from my point of view) as if I had said, "Legislation is a slippery slope." Sorry if the added words set you off.

Many fears are born of stupidity and ignorance -
Which you should be feeding with rumour and generalisation.
