Really sorry for not gettin' my blog on this past weekend/last week, but I've been practicing and on the road for a Debate Tournament which took place from Fri-Sun, and I just got back.
Good news is, I got the topic "Should we drill in Alaska for oil." I was the negative, and got to talk about a lot of the sustainable energy developments, natural energy shortage problems, and long term effects of oil consumption that I learned in class. Of course, I won it, thanks to you guys! (and Speths ridiculously pessimistic number predictions.)
*On a side note, it was also the debate I won by the greatest margin, which makes me feel like I've actually been learning something for once, so yay.
Yay! Congrats way to do it for the green movement! All we do is win!
ReplyDeleteYes, congrats. Next time you can tackle the harder case for not drilling: not that we need the oil, but that the planet and the wildlife need-- or even are just entitled to-- the refuge. As that "recovering environmentalist" said, we have a destructive habit of always making it about us.
ReplyDeleteOn the other hand, I like us. Or some of us, some of the time. In the future.
