Re: Plan-Plan=laziness

Some thoughts I have on plan-plan.

If you are going to bother doing research on specific cases and on 
disadvantages why would you wnat to run a plan-plan at the same time.  It 
seems to me that you would just devote more of your time to turning the 
hell out of the cases that you debate.  What is the educational value of 
running your affirmative every round?  I think the same argument that is 
made about agent counterplans could be said about a plan-plan.  You are 
just running away from debates.  Is there not more joy than taking the 
entire bloc and straigt turning the case and watching the 1ar cringe.

Could someone who runs paln-plan explain to me why the affirmative could 
not just stand up and say perm:  do both?  Or what if the affirmative is 
running the same case that you are plan-planning with?

Agent counterplans are bunk (unless you have jack to say) as are plan 
plans, at least in my uneducated view.  Might be cool if I got 'em.
