    A Call To Arms! or I need help with homework!

    The Assignment:
    I need to summarize and analyze an article. The article must contain a fallacy(something that makes the author dis-credible)

    My first thought was to find an article by someone who is pro-snake ban
    The reason being, one type of fallacy is called 'slippery slope' or taking something and blowing it out of proportion, and saying that a small thing will become a huge(and mostly inconceivable thing)
    perfect example, the people who claim that if we allow the keeping of snakes, because of the wild snakes in the Florida Everglades that eventually they will breed and start to claim the central U.S. and further north in time.

    Thanks for all your help!

    ***Disclaimer***
    The article(if one is found) does not in any way reflect my position on the matter of snake bans and this thread is in no way meant to stir up any debate or anything like that, not like there is any debate to be made :-P

    I really can't help you but I was able to find a short story by Max Shulman caled "Love is a Fallacy" that I haven't seen in a while and thought I'd share. Good Luck with the assignment!

    I have not idea what CRT205 is, so probably not, just a paper im supposed to write for my college english class.
    Just need to find an article written by a pro snake ban person who thinks boas and pythons will take over the united states.
