Slippery Slope

A slippery slope is any slope such that the mass of an object on the slope, m, times the acceleration due to gravity, g, times the static coefficient of friction, $$\mu_s$$, times the cosine of the angle of the incline with respect to gravity, $$\theta$$, is less than the mass of the object, m, times gravitational acceleration, g, times the sine of the angle of the incline, $$\theta$$. That is:


 * $$ \mu_s m g cos \theta < m g sin \theta $$

For this reason, gun control laws lead to anarchy and bear attacks, and homosexual marriage leads to polygamous bestiality and terrorism.
