(http://www.uaps.org/journal /journal18v1/risk.pdf)

DECISION CALCULUS

EVEN IF THEY WIN THEIR WAR SCENARIOS, AIDS IS THE WORST IMPACT POSSIBLE AND CAUSES WORSE DEVASTATION THAN ANY WAR- OUR EVIDENCE IS COMPARATIVE
DOCKING 1 (timothy, oct 15, “aids and violence conflict in Africa” usip.org/pubs/specialreports/sr75.html)

My argument says, tacitly, … increasingly, like that.


2ac Tricks, Add-Ons,


Answers To Off Case Args
Solvency, aids, cp, tradeoff, k, t

At: K

THE NEG MUST DEFEND THE STATUS QUO OR A COMPETITIVE POLICY OPTION –THIS IS BEST:
1. GROUND – THE NEG WILL ALWAYS WIN THEIR PRINCIPLES ARE BETTER IN THE ABSTRACT – THE ONLY WAY WE CAN DEBATE THE MERITS OF THE PLAN VS. THEIR CRITICISM IS WEIGHING BOTH AS RESULTS OF POLITICAL ACTION
2. EDUCATION – OUR FW BEST ACCESSES EDUCATION ON MAKING REAL WORLD POLICY DEVISIONS AND THE ABILITY TO USE CBA WHILE THEIR FW RARELY APPLIES TO THE REAL WORLD. EVEN IF FIAT IS ILLUSORY, JUST DISCUSSING A HYPOTHETICAL PLAN IS STILL MORE EDUCATIONAL THAN THEIR IRRELEVANT CRITICISM.
3. INFINITE REGRESSION. REPS AND DISCOURSE CAN NEVER BE PERFECT; THEIR FW REGRESSES INTO ENDLESS KRITIK OF FLAWED REPS WITHOUT EVER DISCUSSING REAL WORLD ISSUES. RECOGNIZING THESE IMPERFECTIONS ARE OK IS KEY TO FOSTER ETHICAL RELATIONSHIPS AND BECOME POLITICALL ACTIVE
COLEBROOK 00 (“questioning representation”, substance, vol 29 issue 2)
“as i’ve already….with the world”

PERM – DO THE PLAN AND K. EXPRESSION OF OPPOSITION BETWEEN THE 2 ARE CRUCIAL TO RETHINKING THE STATUS QUO. THE K BY ITSELF FAILS AND BECOMES COOPTED – INSTITUTIONALIZING THE DOMINANT ORDER.
EDELMAN 87
“oppositions in expressed….is easily built”

PERM IS NET BENEFICIAL. FIRST, THEORETICAL INTERVENTIONS EMPTY OF PRAXIS FAIL TO SOLVE. THE ALT LOCKS US INTO DEBATING THEORIES AVOIDING REAL WORLD PROBLEMS
ROUTLEDGE 96
(“the third space as critical engagement” antipode 28, 399-419)
“one of the problems of theory….in the immediate”

THE NEG’S CALL TO REJECT IMPOVERISHES THE DISCOURSE. YOU ARE EITHER WITH THEM OR AGAINST THEM. THIS BINARY OPPOSITION GUTS ANY TRANSFORMATIVE POWER OF THE NEG’S DISCOURSE
ASHLEY 88 (“untying the sovereign state: a double reading of the anarchy problematique”, millennium, summer, p 227-262)
“the monological reading…must conform”

NO LINK – WE DON’T POSIT AFRICAN HAS IN CONSTANT TURMOIL AND INSTABILITY; OUR ARG IS THAT MANY PEOPLE ARE DYING FROM AIDS AND POVERTY, WHICH IS FACT

MAKE THEM PROVE THAT WE DON’T NEED TO HELLP THEM – IN ORDER FOR YOU TO VOTE NEG THEY NEED TO PROVE EITHER OUR HARMS DON’T EXIST OR THERE IS AN ALTERNATIVE TO ACTION; OTHERWISE THE K IS ETHICAL GARBAGE THAT IS AN EXCUSE FOR INACTION

IMAGES OF SUFFERING ARE KEY TO PREVENT ATROCITIES
KLEINMAN 96 (Arthur, “the appeal of experience; the dismay of images: cultural appropriations of suffering in our times” daedalus )
“it is necessary to balance..in this cultural process”
