At present, I stand with the reservations outlined in my freepmail. Let me think about it more, while you further define the issue to be debated, and this 'team' debating concept.

I was under the impression the topic would be the war on drugs. Tex seems to support it on a state level and you oppose it in all respects. It's to bad you both agree on the federal issue as that could make for some lively discussion.

Are you two far enough apart on this issue to create stark differences in the two approaches? It reallt needs to be black and white for an entertaining exchange.

BTW - I'm sure you could find many admirable debate partners on this site. Same for Tex.

I understand and it is obviously your decision to take part or not. I think it could be fun! Let me know soon.

BTW - There will be a certain amount of prestige that goes along with being the first participants of FR Debate!
