Today, I listened to music, watched TV, and used the computer. I blinked at the brightness of my cell phone screen before I drifted off to sleep for a nap.
But all these things are just in a cave, as I learned today. The real stuff -- the light -- is outside, out in the real world. Most of us, especially in this day and age, are stuck in a cave. We live here and can't survive without it.
Caves are usually kind of scary anyways, right? They're dark and cold. Who'd want to stay in one?
Yet, most of us still want to stay.
Republic kicks us off with a 1 minute opening statement, followed by Timarchy, Oligarchy, Democracy and Tyranny.
ReplyDeleteThen question 1 is read and (you don't get the questions in advance)
Timarchy starts by answering the question and by attacking another society (only one) all in the space of a minute.
Then Oligarchy goes and answers the question and attacks any of the societies remaining except the one Timarchy attacked and they have one minute then it goes to Democracy and then Tyranny and then the Republic.
Question 2 starts with Oligarchy and we rotate until we get back around to the Republic going first. Each society can only be attacked once during each question. IF all four have been attacked then the 5th may choose. Every society then gets a 30 second rebuttal per attack. I'll be out tomorrow so debate is pushed back at least to Wednesday. Stomach flu=awful
