All right, so since I want to see a different topic out there...this one's from February's Lincoln-Douglas topic:
Resolved: A government's obligation to protect the environment ought to take precedence over its obligation to promote economic development. I'm on the negative side for this, seeing that only by providing a healthy, stable economy can you be able to help the environment. The products of a good economy are what help improve the environment. Haha don't worry...I have more points...I've researched both sides to this, so bring it on.
