Ah. I misunderstood what you said in your earlier statements.
My apologies.

It's something I'ld have to think about.
It's kind of a "slippery slope" way of thinking for me. I could try to give some arguments with some degree of opposition, but the further a position comes to polar opposite of all this the less and less I can think of to justify it...


And you may have given it before, but if it's not too much trouble, could you please explicitly state the "Resolution" that this is covering?
I'm just curious.
no problem, here goes.

Resolved: The United States Federal Government should substantially decrease its authority either to detain without charge or search without probable cause.

that's basically the whole deal with debate, you have to be able to argue pro and con on something no matter what just as convincingly both ways. forget how you really feel, it comes with the territory.
