It's almost Halloween!

[m11w1s9e_hurray]

Aye! My favorite holiday is a'comin'! This means a few things : 1.) COSTUMES 2.) CANDY 3.) October is almost over, and despite my love of fall, it means that the month has gone by very quickly and thanksgiving->christmas->my birthday->spring->summer is almost here!  ...Man I'm way too optimistic.

Today was our bake sale/halloween children's craft

protect the innocent or punish the guilty

withuot context that is seen as the same thing. and ps - protect the innocent.

i thought the same thing while reading that...i think its all about due process, and not necessarily either end. with a fair trial and fair enforcement, you get both positive ends (as well as protecting the RIGHTS of the guilty, which is just as important as protecting the rights of the innocent).

i'm thionking that this resolution really sided for the neg.. due process is obvious;y important but this resolution is really questioning the means and outcome fo due process itself. everyone;s entitled to due process, but its questioning whether or not that process includes subjective input.. and for some reason i feel that the neg is going to have way more ground b.c 1) theyll protect the innocent more on the neg and 2) theres a set standrad by which all members of society can abide... teh aff seems to promote subjective input which really is basically a euphemism for "we're down with discrimination..." the best the aff can get is a lesser sentence for some who may have justified actions while liberating they feel has committed a justifiable act, though is STILL guilty, whereas the neg will be like.. sorry, you broke a law, 'tardwe can't set any lofty precidents in society... whT do u feel about the aff's ground?

um, the resolution isnt just about the movie "a time to kill". this is really more of a letter of the law vs. judicial activism debate
