Human-centered rationality treats humanity as separate from nature, which paves the way for humans to use nature at their disposal as a mass of undifferentiated beings

Nature is by....also humanity will perish.

Our alternative is to adopt a critical ecofeminist pedagogy within this debate that seeks, at every level, to refuse hierarchy and domination. This means we must embrace the human learner in the context of the nonhuman and nature, paying particular attention to the diversity of knowledge production through language, teaching, and learning.

Interpretation

The Free Dictionary 12

http:~/~/www.thefreedictionary.com/com/production

Production : The creation of value or wealth by producing goods and services.

Violation:  They're only production if the natives decide to pursue wind energy, there's a chance they won't.  They've mixed their burdens, which is bad for both aff and neg.

Standards: explodes topic. If aff's can run anything that potentially creates energy, it creates thousands of topics. Which is unfair and bad for education. Your vote stop potential abuse.

Better brightline: under our interpretation if voting aff creates energy, they're topical;

Provides plenty of ground

Also: the second half of their plantext “declare that tribes maintain sovereign authority to implement tribal regulations and taxes over all energy related activities conducted within reservation territory” is extra-topical, this is an independent voter.

Vote neg for reasons of fairness, education and to prevent future abuse.
