Resolved: Allowing deep water offshore oil drilling is in the best interest of the United States.

First i want to say thank you to my opponent for accepting my challenge then i will say Resolved: Allowing deep water offshore oil drilling is in the best interest for the UNITED STATES. Now i will move on to defend my case and attack my opponents in the process. Contention 1. The oil spill was grossly exagguratted. Evidence: www.lewrockwell.com. It now seems that about a third of the oil from the infamous oil spill has already evaporated into the atomosphere where it will have no effect. Furthermore, all of the toxic elements of the oil will soon have evaporated as well. Some globs of oil may wash up to shore, but whatever remains will apparently sink down to the sea floor and just become part of the sediment. Now to go on and attack my opponents part of their case where they say Additionally, while Time may have stated that the spill killed less than 1% of the birds that died because of the Exxon-Valdeez spill, we must keep in mind that the Exxon-Valdeez spill happened over a decade ago, and we are still seeing the effects of it. We would expect that the amount of damage done by the more recent spill would be fractional in comparison to the Exxon spill because that statistic quantifies data collected over years, whereas the Horizon spill happened only months ago. We do need to keep in mind about the spill times however we need to think of how The United States stands to benefit economically from offshore drilling if our judges vote for the con side of the debate then they killing many job opportunities. We feel very bad for those families that lost loved ones due to the BP blow out but we need to think are we going to let them die in vain? Are we going to let the money that were making be blown away? No if we eliminate these jobs were are cripiling our economy! When workers take these jobs THEY decide that having this job is better then having no jobs. Next though I did say cleanup was poorly handled by the government it was to see if they would bite on the bait that i left for them. We need to get people into government positions where they will NOT watch Pornograpgy instead of working. Now this penalizes both parties Pro and Con for it is average everyday people doing this instead of going out there and helping out. Now im going to ask all the judges to look at this "In regards to the Deepwater Horizon spill, a rig worker noticed a dangerous leak which was reported to BP, which failed to repair it www.businessweek.com). Even the BP employees hired to clean up the spill say they were not wholly informed about the dangers they would face while working on the cleanup" my opponent says in his case that workers are aware of dangers. Now im going to ask ALL of you out there to tell me what 2+2 equals Lastly i will say directly to my opponent what are the NEW sources of energy to transition to and how much will they cost. How log will it take to instill them in our government? Now also Are we going to REQUIRE all of our construction workers, taxi drivers, power line maintenance crew, farmers, loggers, and fishers to wear chemical and bio suits to make them as safe as can be? I hope that you judges will say we need to change things around and i ask for a Pro ballet in todays debate!!!!! THANK YOU AMERICA
