A tasting of topics: Resolved: Statesmanship is irrelevant to modern politics. Resolved: Feminism is dead. Resolved: We live in a post-racial society. Resolved: Voting does not matter. Resolved: Strong democracies require faithful citizens. Resolved: Humphrey Bogart should not have let Ingrid Bergman go at the end of Casablanca. Resolved: Casablanca does not portray true love. Resolved: Women, not men, fare worse in modern romantic culture. But actually, the only one that really matters is: **Resolved: The suburbs are good for America.** Hollah, (E)MSLEOG --- On Sun, 1/22/12, Amanda Wynter <amanda...@yahoo.com> wrote:

[Richard Rinaldi]

Resolved: The U.S. government should support the Keystone XL pipeline.

WHY: Topical & timely, we don't do relevant environment debates much.

Resolved: Mitt Romney is too rich to be president of the United States.

WHY: Crystallizes the class issue we want to talk about into something punchy. Also raises a provocative point. Does rich necessarily mean out of touch? Or should we celebrate financial success in any form?

Resolve: Love conquers all.

WHY: Unless we've done it, why not? Figured I'd throw this out there for discussion at least.
