young voters in 1964 who were too young to cast their
ballots in 1960.
So discuss the fallacies and political
trickery used by politicians, as outlined below.
CASE P-430: Eric G., aged 28, is an insurance executive
“Dr. Crane,”
he began, “you have mentioned that eight
million young people will come of voting age by 1964 who
were too young to cast their ballots in 1960.
“Even if only 50% of them
vote, that means 4,000,000
entirely new voters.
“And President Kennedy
won by less than 115,000 in
1960; So please outline some
of the common fallacies in
logic to help these young
people.”
Common Fallacies
First, we might mention
the “Either-Or” fallacy which
is simply a version of the old
two-horned dilemma.
Recently the government
used this to socialize Ameri-
can medicine by suggesting
that “either” Uncle Sam must
become a doctor “or” old
people would all die, scream-
ing in pain and without any
aid from physicians or den-
tists.
Actually, every American
Iready has access to private
medical insurance firms or to
charity hospitals.
And whenever Uncle Sam
takes over ANY function that
formerly was offered by pri-
vate concerns, Uncle Sam
pavs no taxes.
So the less Uncle Sam runs
our lives, the more private
firms will still be on the lo
cal tax assessor’s books.
A variation of this “Either
- Or” is also the “Good
Bad” dilemma.
The Peace Corps is a typic- |
al example. It is not a choice
of “good” vs. “bad” but-0of
“good” vs. “better” plans.
Those opposed to the $60.- | |
000,000 spent on 9.000 Peace |
Corps volunteers did not de-
ny it would do some good.
But they argued
churches could have sent 10
times as many
missionaries into those
developed foreign
for that same cost.
Besides, when Uncle Sam

taxpayers.
The ‘hasty generalization”
is a second fallacy which in-
volves too quick conclusions
from inadequate facts.
A third fallacy is called
the “ad hominem” wherein a
man’s logic is sidestepped by
trying to besmirch the man
personally.
As an example, you may
