The Harvard-Yale Debate

So I attended the Harvard-Yale debate tonight. The topic was energy independence and whether government or business should drive the effort.

Surprisingly, both sides argued very poorly. Each team had four debaters; coincidentally, two who were great, and two who were decent. Harvard made more (in terms of quantity) solid points; but, because Harvard was arguing the affirmative, it had the burden of proof. Unfortunately for Harvard, it failed to meet it. Yale won.

In seven hours, I'll be eating bagels and downing bourbon. Then, on to the tailgate parties and the game. I'm already pretty pooped. So we'll see how long I last.
