After college I started working on debate because I had to have a case ready for tonight, and I was planning to go to speech after I finished it, but it wasn't done 'till about 17:30 so I never went.
I'm happy with my case. It's so close to a negative that if I run against a similar negative case then I can say mine is giving the same things, but better assured path. My value is stable government and is attained through liberty (what makes it negative-like) with a spattering of restricting of rights (what makes it not actually negative).
I went against Austin who doesn't have a negative case yet, so he ran the team case on liberty, which is the perfect combo for my case. Since I know that I don't have anymore tournaments to debate in I think I am enjoying debate now. I'm hoping to finish a negative case this week (this one is kinda like an aff case, but not) that I got a little done in. I only did the frameing so not much is written yet.
After debate everyone stayed for a bit and talked.
The twins have a screwball case, that takes the resolution, splits it into two values, and under that splits it into 2 contentions each. Andie had to run against it and couldn't figure out how it was different from her negative case because they were very much alike (Actually it's kinda like mine in that regard). Dad spent about an hour talking with Andie and Meghan about how to go against it after everyone else had left. Since Andie has already gone against it Meghan's going to be next. Go get em!
