Grandad's Law
Revision as of 15:05, 10 March 2014 by Paul Herring (talk | contribs)
Akin to Godwin's Law, Grandad's Law states that
The first person to mention “the children” in an attempt to sway public opinion has lost their case.[1]
This is applicable to such things as
- proposed bans on smoking in cars "for the children,"
- the numerous dictats on the content of food "for the children" or
- banning the advertising of alcoholic drinks "for the children."
