"Work book club discussing part II today.

To me the biggest takeaway is the idea of strong yet fewer arguments if trying to win a debate - it runs counter to how the old LD debates were scored, where I'd lose points for every opposing point I didn't refute.

Lawrence Durrell

“It's because I'm tired of being branded a terrorist; tired that a human life lost in my country is no loss at all.”
