The System

[Shonjose@aol.com]

I was wrong earlier.  I am an adult and will apoligize for the wide sweep the
prophecy covered.  Exclude two jackasses and all who have read that post has
thought back to my earlier complaints last April/May.  Come on coaches, you
are all on the right track.  Lets set up an auditorium or conference call and
address one of the issues.  If we accomplish one thing, that just might
encourage a program that has assholes for debaters attempt a consciousness
shift.  SSDS is the way out of this sinking ship.

Now to the jackasses who continue to believe that the SSDS is about programs
that don't win:

1) The SSDS consist of schools that are consistently ranked very high in The
System 

2) If all you think about is winning, you are doing more to destroy the
activity than anyone person

3) This stereotype of small schools being losers is the one major reason
successful programs are opting for other debate alternatives.  Yeah, you are
just continuing to kill the activity.  Russ says there is $13,000 in
reserves(LOL) you are going to need if you allow those few jackasses to
surface their ideas and allow novices to see that mode of thinking.

this the last time I will address this issue.  Hopefully some coach will
correct this mislead group and encourage them think not in terms of winning,
but in the direction of professional growth, students growth, and the
livelihood of the activity.

This concludes this press release.

PS--the research thing--I am not a debater so I don't have research to do.
