Quotations, Questions, and Resolutions from CWI’s Spring Fling Tournament

This last weekend the college I help out at coaching Speech and debate hosted a tournament (the very first one!).  I had the honor of writing up the quotations that the impromptu speakers would use as prompts, questions that the extemporaneous speakers would answer, and resolutions that the debaters would argue.   Now that the tournament is over I can share them with the rest of the world.  Please leave your comments and tell me what you think.
