“Paranoia” Is Merely Perfect Awareness
By Mitch Berg
The next time some self-righteous twerp tries to tell you “There’s no such thing as a slippery slope. I guess you’re just paranoid”, tell them to slide down this.

And if we’d just stop eating meat then we wouldn’t need all those sharp, pointy knives in our kitchens.

English chefs don’t use knives with pointed ends…..well, yes, who would use one for making kidney pie or overcooked vegetables? And we wonder why the English love pizza and curry so much! And try, ahem, to prepare the fish for fish & chips without a good filet knife. So these guys didn’t even know their own cuisine.
And speaking as an avid cook, those long, pointy knives have a great purpose–they cut vegetables better and more safely, slice turkey, ham, and beef roasts wonderfully, and the like. Plus, I keep them sharp enough so that the hazard from them is, again, not just the point.
Never mind that anyone with a good sharpening stone can put a point on most knives in about ten minutes, and for that matter I can make a reasonable approximation of a K-bar or machete with a bench grinder, any flat piece of steel like a lawnmower blade, and duct tape in about half an hour.
The slippery slope is not weapons control per se, but rather stupidity, apparently, on their part.
