N.D.Okla. 1939. "Restriction," as used in the statutes concerning restriction on alienation of lands inherited from deceased Osage allottees, is synonymous with "prohibition." Act April J8, 1912. §§ 6, 7, 37 Stat. 87, 88.—U.S. v. Mullendore, 30 F.Supp. 13, appeal dismissed 111 F.2d 898.— Indians 15(1).

There needs to be a nexus between the incentive, the energy they incentivize, and the energy they trade off with

B: violation- they only criticize nuclear power but don’t increase energy production

This interpretation is necessary to fair ground for both sides. The resolution is a neutral site of stasis for controversy. The topic selection process might be problematic but the important thing is that neither the AFF team nor the NEG team is able pick the exact question of the resolution. If they are they can define the debate in ways that make it near impossible for us to compete and really easy for them to win. There need to be limits on their ABILITY to control WHAT THE DEBATE IS ABOUT.
This interpretation is key to useful debates. Argument by definition requires limits—the existence of clash in this round doesn’t mean there’s an appropriate frame of reference.  This proves ground is key—not because we’d have nothing to say, but because setting the agenda makes us negate descriptive facts or moral truisms instead of collectively reason

Dialogic clash is itself a process of becoming—the benefit of our framework is the educational process
Morson 4
Northwestern Professor,  Prof. Morson's work ranges over a variety of areas: literary theory (especially narrative); the history of ideas, both Russian and European; a variety of literary genres (especially satire, utopia, and the novel); and his favorite writers -- Chekhov, Gogol, and, above all, Dostoevsky and Tolstoy. He is especially interested in the relation of literature to philosophy.

A belief in truly dialogic ideological becoming would lead to schools that were quite different

most important thing. What we must do is keep the conversation going. 

Prefer our evidence because it is more specific to the debate context. Game spaces like debate are distinct from other forms of education and public speaking.  There has to be a balance of ground or else one side claims the moral high ground and creates a de facto monologue
