1AR: 1Ns Burden Shell

1Ns Burden Caminer

Sign your ballot now, the negative has dropped their only obligation and that is the 1N's burden. Our interpretation of debate is the aff presents a topical plan and the negative defends a competing policy option, criticism, or the status quo with the 1N making the 2N a sandwich for the final negative speech. And we have a few net-benefits: a. Tradition - since the days of Bill Shanahan, 1N's have been making sandwiches for their partners. b. 2N reciprocity - 2N's do a lot of work, they need some recognition, the terminal impact to this is fairness, it's only fair that the debater who does most if not the entirety of the work gets the entirety of the sandwich. c. Education - the things we talk about are largely constructed but learning how to make a sandwich is the sort of real-world education we should be striving to get out of debate. This kind of education is the only kind that we will be using every day for the rest of our lives. d. Jurisdiction - if the 1N doesn't hustle during prep time and during this speech you have a prima facie duty to vote aff. e. Being neg key2Ns carry the negative ship on their back but the 2A needs the 1AR to win. Its only fair that the 2N gets a sandwich. And here comes the offense: a. Double reverse voting issue - letting the neg get away without making a sandwich makes it a double reverse no-risk option. b. Our ability to affect the world - the world is inherently hungry and people will not listen unless you bring something to the table. Thus in debates we have to literally bring things to the metaphorical table, or else all the skills we learn and develop will be futile. 1Ns should make the sandwiches. Specifically, condiments are key to the judges decision calculus and are good for clash. Caminer, 10Debater at Northside College Prep, the go-to expert for 1N sandwich making. (Mitchell, 7/16,10- Policy Debate,
subsection called 1Ns burden. Look at edit history on the page and click the respective link. http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php? title=Policy_debate&oldid=373840256) A common misconception is that pb+j is the way to go. 1N's often forget that many 2N's either don't like the pb+j, or has a partner that is allergic to peanuts (like Tom is). While a pb+j may be a good generic b or c strat, 1N's should instead focus on

finding 2N specific sandwiches that will maximize 2NR efficiency. For Tom, I've empirically found that no matter what the sandwich is, having a quality Panini-maker has acted as a force multiplier. The following is basic advice for 1Ns looking to improve their sandwich making skills. For bread choice, it needs to be hearty but simple. Many debaters mistakenly think a multi-grain option is the best since it is healthiest, I'm here to tell you not to do that. Instead, go with an Italian loaf, baguette, Kaiser roll, or even the simple Wonder Bread. The most important part of the sandwich is the meat. 1N's should find meats that both taste good and hold up over the course of the tournament. The flavor should be present, but not overwhelming. Be careful to avoid messy meat, as it could get on a flow or laptop. Roast beef, turkey, salami, ham, and grilled chicken have worked best depending on the round (tailor the meat to the 2NR strat). For vegetarians, boca burgers and falafel are solid choices. Vegetables are also a crucial component to the ideal sandwich. A prepared 1N should have a veggie toolbox that is both flexible and complementary. Lettuce (romaine and iceberg), tomatoes, cucumbers, pickles, onions and peppers (as many varieties as possible) are a must. 1Ns should also be prepared for the whims of their partner, so crunchy noodles, relish, zucchini, bean sprouts, beets, and olives (black AND green) are all advanced options. Many 1Ns overestimate the importance of cheese. While it is a key centerpiece, it is often overwhelmed on the palate by other things on the sandwich. Some general tips: avoid American or Velveeta, and cater the cheese choice to the meat. Know key combos like roast beef and provolone, ham and swiss, and others to save time instead of contemplating the proper cheese during your 1NR. If you learn nothing else from this introduction to sandwich-making, the choice of condiments can make or break whether or not the judge votes neg. First and foremost is the use of mayonnaise; never forget to bring it, but dont put on too much unless you want your 2N to drop the permutation. And studies have shown that the quality of the line-by-line is directly proportional to the type of mayonnaise on the

Brands are also key; whenever possible avoid generic brands and get stay up to date on the mustard harvest, and purchase updates as necessary. Know the differences between deli, Dijon, honey Dijon, etc. A prepared 1N will also have non-traditional condiments, such as olive oil, vinegar, raspberry vinaigrette, etc. That should be

Freedom Net Benefit

1Ns Burden Caminer

Sandwiches are key to freedom Caminer, 2010-- Debater at Northside College Prep, the go-to expert for 1N sandwich making. (Mitchell, 8/24/,10- Why
are sandwiches key to freedom? http://www.formspring.me/northsidedebate)

Sandwiches are the literal and symbolic anchors of freedom and democracy, both home and abroad. They represent all that is good in the present, and all that is potential in the future. In their versatility to be both a simple snack or a luxurious meal, sandwiches are an attainable right that everyone has a right to. Policymakers should use a decision-rule calculus based on what policy results in the most sandwiches, since even one denial of a sandwich is a slippery slope that risks removal of all rights. Violation of freedom negates the value of human existence and represents the greatest threat to human survival Rand 89 (Ayn Rand, Philosopher, July 1989, The Virtue of Selfishness: A New Concept of Egoism, p. 145) A society that robs and individual of the product of his effort, or enslaves him, or attempts to limit the freedom of his mind, or compels him to act against his own rational judgment, a society that sets up a conflict between its ethics and the requirements of mans nature is not, strictly speaking, a society, but a mob held together by institutionalized gang-rule. Such a society destroys all values of human coexistence, has

no possible justification, and represents, not a source of benefits, but the deadliest threat to mans survival. Life on desert island is safer than and incomparably preferable than existence in Soviet Russia or Nazi Germany.
Violations of freedom and justice must be evaluated before every other impact Petro 74. -- Sylvester Petro, Prof of Law @ Wake Forest U, University of Toledo Law Review, pg. 4801)
However, one may still insist, echoing Ernest Hemingway - "I believe in only one thing: liberty." And it is always well to bear in mind David Hume's observation: " It is seldom that liberty of any kind is lost all at once." Thus, it is unacceptable to say that

the invasion of one aspect of freedom is of no import because there have been invasions of so many other aspects. That road leads to chaos, tyranny, despotism, and the end of all human aspiration . Ask Solzhenitsyn. Ask Milovan Djilas. In sum, if one believes in freedom as a supreme value and the Proper ordering; principle for any society aiming to maximize spiritual and material welfare, then every invasion of freedom must be emphatically identified and resisted with undying spirit.

U.S. Russia War Net Benefit

1Ns Burden Caminer

Sandwich-making in debates is modeled at the government level; key to solve USRussian relations Luu, 10debater at Northside College Prep (Norman, 8/30/10, U.S. Foreign Policy, Debates, and Sandwiches: More Similar Than
You Thought) Not only are sandwiches liberating and scrumptious, but they also

provide a way to fashion new views on foreign policy. Tensions between the United States and Russia are at a fairly high level in the status quo, as the new START has not been ratified, as well as a part on the Obama administration for not pushing towards more communications between the two superpowers. However, the biggest stumbling block to relations is the lack of sandwich exchange on both sides. Sandwiches provide a useful way to repair damaged relations because leaders of countries world-wide, whatever the circumstances, would always accept the tasty snack. But, the provision of sandwiches on the opposite party is not enough; people within the governments of Russia and the United States must provide sandwiches to their leader as well. This method of saving relations is not just limited to the governmental level. Individuals who participate in public spheres or argumentation, especially that of policy debate, replicate the same kind of tensions between the two countries. Therefore, through the provision of sandwiches, between teammates in particular, is the best way to show to the government that sandwiches are the best option when dealing with U.S.-Russian relations. However, be forewarned; much like it would be illogical for Obama to hand out sandwiches to the citizens, it would be illogical for the stronger player on a team to provide sandwiches for the weakling. Teams with both members playing a crucial part in keeping the debate alive should not include the sandwich-exchange process; however, when one player is carrying the burden of the debate on his shoulders (and with the other teammate tagging along for the ride), the weaker player should give the team leader the tasty sandwich snack.

2. Extinction

Caldicott 2002 (Helen- Founder of Physicians for Social Responsibility, The new
nuclear danger, p. 7-12) If launched from Russia, nuclear weapons would explode over American cities thirty minutes after takeoff. (China's twenty missiles are liquidfueled, not solid-fueled. They take many hours to fuel and could not be used in a surprise attack, but they would produce similar damage if launched. Other nuclear-armed nations, such as India and Pakistan, do not have the missile technology to attack the U.S.) It is assumed that most cities with a population over 100,000 people are targeted by Russia. During these thirty minutes, the U.S. early-warning infrared satellite detectors signal the attack to the strategic air command in Colorado. They in turn notify the president, who has approximately three minutes to decide whether or not to launch a counterattack. In the counterforce scenario the US. government currently embraces, he does [the U.S.] launch[es], the missiles pass mid-space, and the whole operation is over within one hour. Landing at 20 times the speed of sound, nuclear weapons explode over cities, with heat equal to that inside the center of the sun.

bomb, or bombs-because most major cities will be hit with more than one explosion-will gouge out craters 200 feet deep and 1000 feet in diameter if they explode at ground level. Most, however, are programmed to produce an air burst, which increases the diameter of destruction, but creates a shallower crater. Half a mile from the epicenter all buildings will be destroyed, and at 1.7 miles only reinforced concrete buildings will remain. At 2.7 miles bare skeletons of buildings still stand, single-family residences have disappeared, 50 percent are dead and 40 percent severely injured.' Bricks and

mortar are converted to missiles traveling at hundreds of miles an hour. Bodies have been sucked out of buildings and converted to missiles themselves, flying through the air at loo miles per hour. Severe

Overpressures have also entered the nose, mouth, and ears, inducing rupture of lungs and rupture of the tympanic membranes or eardrums. Most people will suffer severe burns.

Doses of 5000 rads (a rad is a measure of radiation dose) or more experienced by people close to the explosion-if they are still aliv-will produce acute encephalopathic syndrome. The cells of the brain will become so damaged that they would swell. Because the brain is enclosed in a fixed bony space, there is no room for swelling, so the pressure inside the skull rises, inducing symptoms of excitability, acute nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, severe headache, and seizures, followed by coma and death within twenty-four hours. A lower dose of 1000 rads causes death from gastrointestinal symptoms. The lining cells of the gut die, as do the cells in the bone marrow that fight infection and that cause blood clotting. Mouth ulcers, loss of appetite, severe colicky abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and

Severe trauma and injuries exacerbate the fallout symptoms, so patients die more readily from lower doses of radiation. Infants, children, and old people are more sensitive to radiation than healthy adults. Within bombed areas, fatalities will occur from a combination of trauma, burns, radiation sickness, and starvation. There will be virtually no medical care, even for the relief of pain, because most physicians work within The United States owns 103 nuclear power plants, plus many other dangerous radioactive facilities related to past activities of the cold war.

On January 25,1995, military technicians at radar stations in northern Russia detected signals from an American missile that hadjust been launched off the coast of Norway carrying a US. scientific probe. Although the Russians had been previously notified of this launch, the alert had been forgotten or ignored. Aware that US. submarines could launcha missile containing eight deadly hydrogen bombs fifteen minutes from Moscow, Russian officials assumed that America had initiated a nuclear war. For the first time in history, the Russian computer containing nuclearlaunch codes was opened. President Boris Yeltsin, sitting at that computer being advised on how to launch a nuclear war by his military officers, had only a threeminute interval to make a decision. At the last moment, the US.missile veered off course. He realized that Russia was not under attack.' If Russia had launched its missiles, the US. early-warning satellites would immediately have detected

them, and radioed back to Cheyenne Mountain. This would have led to the notification of the president, who also would have had three minutes to make his launch decision, and America's missiles would then have been fired from their silos. We were thus within minutes of global annihilation that day. ,' Today, Russia's early-warning and nuclear command systems are deteriorating. Russia's early-warning system fails to operate up to seven hours a day because only one-third of its radars are functional, and two of the nine global geographical areas covered by its missilewarning satellites are not under surveillance for missile detection.9 TO make matters worse, the equipment controlling nuclear weapons malfunctions frequently, and critical electronic devices and computers sometimes switch to combat mode for no apparent reason. According to the CIA, seven times during the fall of 1996 operations at some Russian nuclear weapons facilities were severely disrupted when robbers tried to "mine" critical communications cables for their copper!'" This vulnerable Russian system could easily be stressed by an internal or international political crisis, when the danger of accidental or indeed intentional nuclear war would become very real. And the U.S. itself is not invulnerable to error. In August 1999, for example, when the National Imagery and Mapping Agency was installing a new computer system to deal with potential Y2K problems, this operation triggered a computer malfunction which rendered the agency "blind" for days; it took more than eight months for the defect to be fully repaired. As the New York Times reported, part of America's nuclear early-warning system was rendered incompetent for almost a year."

I was sitting at a meeting in the west wing of the White House discussing potentially dangerous Y2K nuclear weapons glitches. Several Pentagon officials blithely reassured me that
(At that time

everything would function normally during the roll-over. But in fact, their intelligence system had already been disabled.) Such a situation has the potential for catastrophe. If America cannot observe what the Russians are doing with their nuclear weapons-or vice versa-especially during a serious international crisis they are likely to err on the side of

the launch of a weather satellite could actually trigger

"caution," which could mean that something as benign as

annihilation of the planet.This situation became even

more significant after the September 11 attack.

A2: 1NR Important/No voter

1Ns Burden Caminer

And, the 1NR is a worthless speech; 1Ns only role in the debate is to provide nourishment for the 2N debater. Sandwiches are a voting issue. Nelson, 10Debater at Dowling Catholic High School, 9 people liked his comment on facebook. (Joe, 8/22/10, i didnt drop the
perm, it was illusory http://www.facebook.com/#!/tomenator?v=wall&story_fbid=141690385869268&ref=notif&notif_t=like) There comes a point in every debate where a certain speaker (the

1N) gives a speech that does not matter. The 2N may play it up to be an important speech to fool the opposing team; however, they never actually metaphorically go for what was literally in the 1NR. The 2N also becomes very hungry from carrying the entire negative ship on their back. Therefore, simple logic exploits that the 1N, instead of speaking about reverse-ASPEC bad, should take the time to prepare a high quality sandwich for the 2NR. This sandwich, similar to the negative strategy, should not be the same every round. It should reflect the qualities of the debate. For example, when the 2N takes the beef DA, it is appropriate that the 1NR pile on the beef. Or when the debate is getting down to nitty-gritty topicality and theory, the 1N may consider taking the crust off the sandwich. Condiments also are key assets to any 1NR sandwich. For example, if the other team is handily beating the 2N (say at Kelly in the 7-0 round), the 1NR may include mayonnaise as a white flag to the dominant team. If the 2N has the other team clobbered (hitting Westminster TA), the 1NR will consider adding excess ketchup, symbolizing the bloodshed that is taking place. What is key in every 1NR sandwich, indefinitely, is that it is tailored to the 2N's taste and always original. For a full history on 1NR sandwiches or insight as to how it may become a 1AR voting issue if the 1NR fails to present a sandwich for the 2N, contact Mitchell Caminer.

The 2N has to be ready to go for anything the 1AR covers shittily; and the 1AR is not 1NR prep, it is key to have the 2NR prepping and eating a sandwich at the same time. This can not happen if he/she is also flowing, that's the key internal link to not sucking in the debate round.

We all love fights once in a while, but only if the people fighting have morphers and megazords. Conflict between teammates is heartbreaking. A partnership, one even closer in the activity of debate, should never be split apart because of a simple lack of sandwich giving. Much like the relationship between citizens of America and President Obama, the weaker member of the team should show some love; provide some nourishment to the exhausted team leader. If a fight does break out, especially between teammates and during a debate round, the judge should automatically vote against the violent team. Violence has never been the answer; it has only lead to more deaths throughout history. By signing the ballot against the team that is violent, he/she affirms the two true facts of life: (1) Violence is never the answer. And. (2) Sandwiches are always well-deserved for the hardworking.

A2: Trieu, 2010/Beat up the 1N

1Ns Burden Caminer

Counterplan doesn't solve and Tom Trieu is creepier than a piranha applying mascara on a pogo stick. This card is the fire on the bees knees. Caminer, 10-- Debater at Northside College Prep, the go-to expert for 1N sandwich making. (Mitchell, 8/30/10- Girls, Guns,
and (Selena) Gomez: A Summer at MNDI Plus Plus Plus)

Some authors (see Trieu, 2010) have proposed eliminating the voting issue attached to 1Ns Burden Theory and instead causing physical harm to the 1N. While it would be appropriate to cause bodily harm to an incompetent 1N, in no way would it be enough. As a result of their nerdiness, unintelligence, and poor fashion taste, 1Ns are often beat up, abused, and harassed at school on a daily basis. Therefore, further physical injury would not affect a 1N; instead, it is necessary to destroy any sort of confidence that 1Ns have stored up as a result in their participation in debate. Voting the 1N down would serve as a reminder that they cannot help their smarter, better partner, but that their only responsibility is to make their partner a sandwich. However, there is nothing wrong with causing bodily harm in addition to voting the negative team down. Alternatively, one could vote the negative team down and beat up the 1N in all other instances. Alternatively, one could vote the negative team down and consult with the judge on other issues regarding the 1N. Alternatively one could vote the negative team down and consult over the timeframe of how long of a beating is necessary. Alternatively, one could beat up the 1N in a world where the judge votes affirmative and just simply vote down the negative in a world where the judge doesnt vote affirmative. Furthermore, the author of the article has a questionable academic and personal history. Mr. Trieu has reportedly been found trespassing on Selena Gomezs property. He claims he was invited, but witness reports have confirmed that Mr. Trieu was not only uninvited, but proceeded to take his clothes off for Ms. Gomez, while singing I love you Selena, you belong with me. Academically, Mr. Trieu has defended false, immoral positions, at one time advocating the annihilation of all White males dating Asian females. One also has to question his qualifications to speak on 1N discipline, since his debate partner, the infamous Mitchell Caminer, has not only dropped the 1Ns burden, but has been found clipping cards, tags, roadmaps, RFDs, crossexamination questions, expando indexes, novice lectures, judging philosophies, and speaker awards. If Mr. Trieu could assert so strongly that causing physical harm to the 1N is so necessary, perhaps it should
have been more effective on his lazy and unethical partner (full disclosure: I am Tom Trieus debate partner).
