[Vision2020] Joe can't tell the difference. (was "Campaign cotributions")

Joe,

Were not the statements you made part of your argument?

I also thought that the authority of the government derived it just 
powers from the people it governs? I guess you tossed out the 
constitution when you you became a "professional" philosopher!

doug!

Doug,



A fallacy is a fallacious argument. You quoted a statement (or maybe 
two

statements) not an argument, so whatever it is it is not a fallacy.



This cheap point aside, I take it that you disagree with the 
statement(s).



I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree! One problem with your two 
examples

is that Weitz has neither the power nor the authority of OSHA and the

government.



Best, Joe

Joe,







Your statement below seems to me to be a fallacy. If you use the same

logic in the construction industry and OSHA came up to you would you

comply? The government uses "blackmail-style" pressure all the time to

make you change your habits.



Doug!







" for the simple reason that people do not respond well to

blackmail-style pressure. "







"Tell me, if someone sued you in an effort to get you to do something,

no matter how noble it was, would it increase or decrease your chance

of doing it?"







Best, Joe
