I apologize for any repeats. Even with many edits, the argument itself is a little more than 100 characters over the limit. I hope this will not be a large inconvenience. I misread the rules dictating 8000 characters, thinking it meant 8000 words. I apologize for any inconvenience this has caused. I look forward to a healthy, educational debate.

Thanks for the Debate!
