Critical Pot AFFTournament: Westchester Invitational - Lakeland | Round: 1 | Opponent: ALL | Judge: • The truth about the safety and utility of Marijuanna. Contention 1: Framework A) A Trial is the best framework 2) The legal framework is well suited for debate – It allows for all types of arguments B) Impacts on THIS Round Ozminkowski, Mariusz (2012-08-08). Debate and Dialogue: The Essentials of Argumentation (pp. 18-19). . Kindle Edition. 4) Topicality is a about relevance rather than specific definitional arguments. Active judges often consider questions of values as long as the question is arguably within their jurisdiction. The Supreme Court model is the best. Supreme Court has been largely an activist court, attempting to right error in law through their decisions. 5) Judges always make policy – Thus, we meet the burden of proposing a policy framework DOUG LASDON JULY 16, 2009 NY Daily News “Guess what? All judges make policy" 6) Debates about Values are superior – In particular, THIS Affirmative, which analyzes the truth of a critically important social issue, fits the paradigm perfectly. Suzzane Nasser 2013 (accessed Oct 12. 2013) DFW Speech and Debate “The True Purpose of Debate” Some debate programs emphasize research... the most important purpose of debate is to train students to be seekers of truth who know what they believe and why, and who challenge their peers to do the same. C) It is the Affirmative right to define a framework There are several reasons why the affirmative should get to choose the framework for the debate... results when the negative refuses to engage the affirmative on its chosen starting point. Contention 2: TRUTH is the most important value in civil society Romano Guardini May 11, 2005 “Thoughts on the Virtue of Truth” http://www.jknirp.com/truth.htm A Virtue which has suffered great damage in our day is truthfulness ... depends on a respect for truth. Thus, the role of the ballot in this round is to vote for Truth. If any of our three topical charges against the USFG are proven true, you vote Affirmative. TRUTH #1 – The United States federal government has systematically lied in order to sustain the federal prohibition of Marjuanna Dr Sanjay Gupta 08.08.13 CNN Online Why I changed my mind on weed By Dr. Sanjay Gupta, CNN Chief Medical Correspondent Over the last year... We have been terribly and systematically misled for nearly 70 years in the United States, and I apologize for my own role in that. Truth #2 – The US Led War on Drugs is a failed policy that is crushing Mexican society The War on drugs has FAILED in the US Huffington Post 11/22/2011 Tony Newman U.S. still spends two-thirds of the $50 billion-a-year "drug control" budget on enforcement, guns, jails and interdiction...The reality is that despite the 40-year-old, $1 trillion drug war, our society is swimming in drugs The War on drugs has FAILED in Mexico Helen Redmond July 2013 ISR.org “The political economy of Mexico’s drug war” There is a worldwide consensus that the war on drugs has failed...the war on drugs on both sides of the border is indisputably a lost cause. Next Zed Books forward to "Politics, Neoliberalism and Violence in the New Narcoeconomy". June 14, 2012 Peter Watt and Roberto Zepeda Mexico is a country in crisis...Despite this, human rights violations have increased, as has the murder rate, making Ciudad Juárez on the northern border the most dangerous city on the planet. The War on Drugs is FUNDAMENTALLY a U.S. Federal Policy of Coercion towards Mexico Helen Redmond July 2013 ISR.org “The political economy of Mexico’s drug war” The drug warriors in Mexico are junior partners in the war on drugs... Coercing Mexico This policy has cost tens of thousands of lives in Mexico alone Helen Redmond July 2013 ISR.org “The political economy of Mexico’s drug war” THE MEXICAN drug war is a killing machine. The level of violence and slaughter is similar to conventional warfare...In just six years, 70,000 people have been killed, but some estimate the number is a staggering 120,000 ONLY Legalization has any hope The Raw Story June 5, 2013 Agence France-Presse Ex-president Vicente Fox says Mexico should legalize marijuana to steal business back from violent drug cartels...Trying to solve it with repression or violence just fosters more violence The US War On Drugs Policy is classic Security Rhetoric, used to justify control over Mexicans and US citizens alike Daniela Morales and Peter Watt September 17, 2010 “Narcotrafficking in Mexico: Neoliberalism and a Militarized State” upsidedownworld.com justifications of the 'War on Drugs' became associated with themes like security...and they are associating them with narcotrafficking and it provides a very good pretext This rhetoric leads directly to facism Neocleous 2008 (Mark, Professor of the Critique of Political Economy; Head of Department of Politics and History Brunel Univ, Critique of Security, 9) ‘Speaking and writing about security is never innocent’... any revival of fascism would now come through the mobilization of society in the name of security. This equals dehumanization TYRANNY, BROADLY DEFINED, is the use of power to dehumanize the individual This is the ultimate impact Berube 97 – David M., Professor of Communication Studies at University of South Carolina., “NANOTECHNOLOGICAL PROLONGEVITY: The Down Side,” http://www.cas.sc.edu/engl/faculty/berube/prolong.htm the dehumanization of humanity...Dehumanization is nuclear war, environmental apocalypse, and international genocide Truth #3 – The War on Drugs is the New Jim Crow Marijuana prosecution is dramatically biased against African Americans Tony Newman Huffington Post 11/21/2011 African Americans use and sell drugs at similar rates at whites -- yet African Americans are arrested for drugs at 13 times the rate of whites. Marijuanna Laws lead to a crushing cycle of discrimination Tony Newman Huffington Post 11/21/2011 War on drugs has had a devastating impact on African American communities...voting rights The Impact has been incredible Alexander, Michelle (2012-01-16). The New Jim Crow (p. 224). New Press, The. Kindle Edition. (Michelle Alexander is a black civil rights activist, graduate of Stanford Law School and associate professor of law at Ohio State U.) The impact of the drug war has been astounding. In less than thirty years, the U.S penal population exploded from around 300,000 to more than 2 million, with drug convictions accounting for the majority of the increase...The United States imprisons a larger percentage of its black population than South Africa did at the height of apartheid Stopping the war on drugs is the MOST Important step in combating racism. JOHN MCWHORTER August 27, 2013 Wall Street Journal Online “A Better Way to Honor Dr. King's Dream The goal of the civil-rights movement was opportunity—not a 'post-racial' society Mr. McWhorter teaches linguistics and American Studies at Columbia University. institutional racism...First, the war on drugs, a policy that unnecessarily tears apart black families and neighborhoods. The Affirmative ADVOCACY which exposes the TRUTH is a necessary first step the notion that the New Jim Crow can ever be dismantled through traditional.... This new consensus must begin with dialogue, a conversation that fosters a critical consciousness, a key prerequisite to effective social action. This advocacy is true to the legacy of Dr. King and can finally help achieve his vision of Agape. Michelle Alexander PRX July 2, 2012 “Transcript for the Continuous Version version of On the Other Side of the Myth: A Conversation with Michelle Alexander and Tim Wise” the utter irrationality of the system...there is something deeper and more profound about our connection to each other as humans that have to be honored | 2/27/14 |
