Yet another reason to prefer cfr--you've GOT to read this

Well, if this doesn't sway you from jumping into support for the cfr 
topic, than nothing will.  I've taken a hiatus from proving all of your 
arguments wrong for the next few days so I can, oh, I don't know, pass a 
class or two, but now maybe I won't have to worry about defending this 
good, but misunderstood topic.

This should be a particular importance to the civil rights supporters;  
if you think you can acheive real change with your topic, top this:

Steven:

Thanks for the support.  I had just about given up on anybody seriously
discussing the CFR topic.  Actually, I wrote the topic paper.

I am a partner in a DC law firm, and I mkae you this pledge:  IF CFR IS
CHOSEN, I WILL DO MY BEST TO HOOK COLLEGE DEBATE UP WITH
REAL POLICY MAKERS ON THE TOPIC.  Possibly a year-end debate in
front of real policy makers!!

P.S. Before any of you scoff, remember, this is perhaps our first chance 
to actually make a real world impact.  Whatever the probability, its the 
ONLY one that could  receive direct attention by some people 
who can make a difference.

And if you are worried that watching just one debate won't sway them, I 
suggested to Scott that he should keep those he has ties to abreast of the 
evolution of 
the topic, and which cases win most, etc.  It should give us more of an 
incentive to work harder, and engage in better debates.
