Tournament:  | Round:  | Opponent:  | Judge:
The sun now rose upon the right:

Out of the sea came he,

Still hid in mist, and on the left

Went down into the sea.

And the good south wind still blew behind,

But no sweet bird did follow,

Nor any day for food or play

Came to the mariners' hollo!

And I had done a hellish thing,

And it would work 'em woe:

For all averred, I had killed the bird

That made the breeze to blow.

Ah wretch! said they, the bird to slay,

That made the breeze to blow!

Nor dim nor red, like God's own head,

The glorious sun uprist:

Then all averred, I had killed the bird

That brought the fog and mist.

'Twas right, said they, such birds to slay,

That bring the fog and mist.

The fair breeze blew, the white foam flew,

The furrow followed free;

We were the first that ever burst

Into that silent sea.

Down dropped the breeze, the sails dropped down,

'Twas sad as sad could be;

And we did speak only to break

The silence of the sea!

All in a hot and copper sky,

The bloody sun, at noon,

Right up above the mast did stand,

No bigger than the moon.

Day after day, day after day,

We stuck, nor breath nor motion;

As idle as a painted ship

Upon a painted ocean.

Responsibility

We must curb emissions not because there is an ecological emergency but because we are responsible for warming, this can only happen through political action that acknowledges a philosophical interrogation of our hypocrisy

Morton 10, Timothy ( The Ecological Thought ) Harvard press pg 103

Taking personal responsibility for warming by facing our hypocrisy is the first step to changing ourselves

Leadership means taking …………be leaders ourselves.

We must jump into our Hypocrisy and take responsibility for the world simply because we are aware of it this is the only way to drop the support concepts of an aesthecication of place that leads to beautiful soul syndrome

I can't have …………is in and down.

Coexistence

Ecological thought allows for sustainable coexistence through understanding of the strangeness of the stranger

Morton 10, Timothy ( The Ecological Thought ) Harvard Press  pg92

Current thinking only tilts at windmills without a shift to ecological thought planetary survival is not a possibility

Morton 10, Timothy ( The Ecological Thought ) Harvard press pg 5

Till noon we quietly sailed on,

Yet never a breeze did breathe;

Slowly and smoothly went the ship,

Moved onward from beneath.

Hypocrisy

I Still drive a car that’s bad for the environment, I throw trash everywhere and wind turbines chop birds heads off to top it all off.

“Hypocrisy in anything ……….saving the planet.

Fear of jumping into our hypocrisy is only driven by the attitude that rejects responsibility, embrace the imperfectness of progress

Morton 10, Timothy ( The Ecological Thought ) Harvard press pg 121

Focusing on combating pollution with the law allows us to conflate pollution with the root of environmental harms.

Bobertz, Professor of Law at University of Nebraska College of Law, 1995

Although any number ……….acts of legislation

Environmental law fails and makes the problem worse- it creates the illusion of change but leaves the system intact which legitimates pollution.

Ultimately, …………enjoys no immunity.

I fear thee, ancient Mariner!

I fear thy skinny hand!

And thou art long, and lank, and brown,

As is the ribbed sea-sand.

I fear thee and thy glittering eye,

And thy skinny hand, so brown.' -

"Fear not, fear not, thou Wedding-Guest!

This body dropped not down.

Alone, alone, all, all alone,

Alone on a wide wide sea!

And never a saint took pity on

My soul in agony.

The many men, so beautiful!

And they all dead did lie;

And a thousand thousand slimy things

Lived on; and so did I.

.......

I looked upon the rotting sea,

And drew my eyes away;

I looked upon the rotting deck,

And there the dead men lay.

I looked to heaven, and tried to pray;

But or ever a prayer had gusht,

A wicked whisper came and made

My heart as dry as dust.

I closed my lids, and kept them close,

And the balls like pulses beat;

Forthe sky and the sea, and the sea and the sky,

Lay like a load on my weary eye,

And the dead were at my feet.

The cold sweat melted from their limbs,

Nor rot nor reek did they:

The look with which they looked on me

Had never passed away.
 ...

Then like a pawing horse let go,

She made a sudden bound:

It flung the blood into my head,

And I fell down in a swound.

How long in that same fit I lay,

I have not to declare;

But ere my living life returned,

I heard and in my soul discerned

Two voices in the air.

`Is it he?' quoth one, `Is this the man?

By him who died on cross,

With his cruel bow he laid full low

The harmless Albatross.
