Only you can prevent wildfires.

Ah, a worthy opponent indeed. Upon seeing Kleptin's acceptance of my challenge, I immediately went into action, training hard for today's match up. Lot's of logic drills, protein shakes, and a good night's sleep. I'm now sufficiently carbed up and ready to face this titan of debaters. 1. Smokey's propaganda affirms You rather than Yu. Take a look at this rather disturbing advertisement: http://fly4change.files.wordpress.com... Imagine the poor seven year old that looks upon this poster for the first time. The emblazoned words "Only You" grab his attention first. He stops to consider this. "Only me?" he thinks. He stares upon the finger pointed directly into his soul. The bear's sad eyes reach out to the child's sense of compassion as if to say, "you wouldn't allow terrible things to happen, now would you?" The child begins to draw nearer the poster in a gesture of willingness to help. He pauses to consider the beast's trustworthiness and finds security in the bear's manner of appearance: shirtless, hairy, jeans with a belt; just like Uncle Joe. The boy, now open to the bear's plea, considers this new great expectation. "I don't know if I can do it alone." he thinks. Then his eyes fall finally upon the shovel clenched tightly in Smokey's left hand. What need does Smokey have for a shovel? A threat, or just a tool to bury the innocent squirrels and rabbits slaughtered due to the boy's lifelong inaction? The boy finally wills himself away from Smokey's presence, ridden with fear (http://www.wildanimalfightclub.com...) or guilt (http://tcritic.com...)... or perhaps both. Smokey's propaganda as seen here clearly indicates the pronoun "you" rather than the person "Yu." One would be hard pressed to encounter any other interpretation. 2. Given Yu, the resolution still fails. The sad truth is that Yu the Great has failed to prevent wildfires both in China and in the world in general. There is no doubt of Yu's mastery over China's flash flooding. However, his achievements do not apply to wildfires unless a causal link can be made between digging channels and the elimination of lightning storms. Indeed, none can be made. To make matters worse, Yu's ability to prevent any wildfires, arson or otherwise, for the last several millennium has been seriously hindered by the rather daunting obstacle of death. So you see, if we replace you with Yu, then the motto becomes a bald faced lie, since Yu is in even less a position to prevent wildfires than you. CONCLUSION No matter how you dress a turd, it still stinks. In my first round, I showed how both the singular and plural forms of the word "you" pose a problem. The singular pronoun results in a logical contradiction. The plural version is linguistically irrational, but even a generous interpretation still encounters the impossibility of humanity to prevent lightning induced wildfires. In my second round, I showed how substituting Yu still results in the resolution's negation. There is simply no denying it, you/you all/Yu cannot prevent wildfires. Those finally free from the guilt and fear of Smokey's oppressive agenda may thank me via private message or in the comments. I live to serve. Thank you.
