So don’t let these boys come up here and whisper sweet nothings in your ears about saving the world with free wifi and clean water.

All professionals see their craft amongst the world … “When you think about it — and I mean really think about it — everything is meat distribution engineering.” — meat distribution engineer.Ultimately the rhetoric behind this debate resolution is elitist self-aggrandizing propaganda and voting for it won’t make you feel better about yourself. Negating won’t make you feel better either but it’ll help make your peace with your false religion.
