[QUOTE="ThatRobGuy, post: 77184767, member: 123415"] But isn't the reaction to that overcorrection? For instance, a plurality of people support pot, but don't support legalizing heroin. If a group of people "did the slippery slope" and started pushing for heroin, wouldn't saying "That's it, we're going to back to making it all illegal" be overcorrection? To put it in perspective: [I]Overall, roughly half of Americans (52%), including 61% of people ages 18-29, say they would be somewhat or very comfortable using a gender-neutral or preferred pronoun to refer to someone who is transgender.[/I] (according to gallup poll) Being (understandably) upset that one side has pushed things a bit to far, and trying to address it by taking an approach that over half of the country doesn't agree with, would be the definition of over-correction. Like I mentioned before, if people didn't want to stop at the line before, the solution isn't to scrap everything, it's to take it back to the aforementioned line. [/QUOTE]
