Whatcha think of it?
 I only joined in February, but...from what I remember, they didn't have resolutions dealing with or relating to current politics.

hahah, i was a lurker, but i saw this topic and i had to register!
 i'd say that environment vs. economy is indeed pretty easy to apply to real life situations but individual vs. the common good is a bit more abstract. i prefer more pragmatic topics anyway. I really liked the environment vs. economy one though. resolved: that the united states has a moral obligation to promote democratic ideals in other nations. i would've preferred the racial profiling topic, but hey, got what we got :P i think this has plenty of good, pragmatic real-world applications, such as iraq, etc. also notice that the topic does not state IMPOSE.. therefore one could argue that, say, the U.S. sending in diplomats to oversee elections in a fledgeling democracy could be defined as promotion.. just some thoughts. I haven't even debated on this topic yet. First tournament on it next weekend! yes, here in texas policy is more popular than LD unfortunately. |
