Since I began following you a few years ago, I became a debate junkie. If I had it to do over, I would have joined the Debate Team in high School. What makes me angry is that educators are trashing debates. Because they know they can't back up the claim. Also, it's a fuck you, this isn't open for debate sort of fascist thuggery called activism. I never completed the first semester of high school. An eighth-grade education. I got my GED. I went to UMB for only two semesters. This is what I learned. I might be a mid-weight, I learned how to study. I learned how to take notes. Not miss class. I was on the Dean's List for both semesters. It was nothing but SACRIFICE and HARD WORK.
