Oxford Style Debates
Just a quick mention for former/current debate and MUN geeks (you know who you are). A friend turned me on to NPRs Intellegence Squared program: a set of Oxford-style debates on contemporary issues.
Tonight I am listening to pro/con on "Better More Surveillance than Another 9/11" while taking a night shift with Hannah. After waking briefly when I took over the shift (Daddy-detected: must wake up and play!), she has gone back to sleep, so I am listening to the unedited web stream version of the debate for now. An edited version is also available for download on the site above.
Favorite debate so far: "Is America Too Damn Religious?" Both the pro and con sides put forward excellent cases; well worth a listen.
