Hope you all are having a wonderful break from school. I know I am. Don't worry. I don't miss any of you! That's a lie. Ok. I miss you all. Terribly. But I hope you had a great V-Day. I know that our debates for Wednesday are a little vague so I wanted to give you more information about what I am looking for and hopefully clear up a few questions ya'll may have. Because it is going to be a quick one-on-one debate, you are not going to argue specific policy changes to Utah's liquor laws, I don't expect you to spend that kind of time researching, but whether or not they need to be changed. This is more of a philisophical debate. By that I mean that you do not need to know specific numbers or figures, but rather the pros and cons of changing our current system. Some of you may want to argue that the policy is fine and working as it should (There is no HARM), some of you may concede that there is a problem (Yes there is a HARM, but the current system is fixing it). Ok. So. The affirmative will be arguing that there is a problem (HARM) and that the current system is not fixing it (INHERENCY). What are some of the outcomes of changing our liquor laws? If we make them more flexible, the state will make more money. The bars will make more money. Tourism will surge because people know they can drink here. What are the cons??? So don't worry about doing too much research. This will be more about whether it is ethically right to make our laws more flexible. Ok. This is enough for tonight. I'm tired. Deuces.
