Hi there, Wonketteers! I'm Proud to be able to bring to you a New Wonkette Feature: a weekly round-up of Current Events in - SCIENCE! Your Esteemed Editrix, Rebecca Schoenkopf, has pulled Yours Truly away from furiously carpet-bombing Wonkville with bizarre and disgusting Science Related Stories and given me the opportunity to do the same right here. Why it is that she thinks this would be a Good Thing is beyond me. I think it's got something to do with all the Smart People playing here.
2AC Response: 1) Lit checks abuse - the Negative has sufficient evidence to argue against Science. 2) Ground - the Negative interpretation destroys Aff ground and unfairly limits the scope of the topic to a small subset of the resolution. 3) Predictability - The Negative knows that the Aff will argue in favor of science. Logically, the Negative should be prepared to respond given the limited number of Aff positions. 4) Voters A) Fairness - The Negative interpretation would make any Affirmative on science immediately non-topical. This places the Affirmative at a patently unfair disadvantage in debate, destroys all Affirmative ground, and is abusive. Signal via an Aff ballot that you will not accept such an unbalanced outcome. B) Education - The Negative would have you live in ignorance of events beyond this room. This destroys the core purpose of scholastic debate, and must be rejected. 5) T is a time suck - if the Negative kicks out of the T by the 2NR, it acknowledges the emptiness of the T debate and places another voting issue in favor of the Aff.
I'm waiting for the Yet Another Damn Array.
I did not notice the headline properly until I was about to leave the next post.

It&#039;s mostly technology, with just a bit of help from polymer science.
Sorry, it was a hanging changeup over the middle. I <em>had</em> to swing.
