[eDebate] ???Overturning Roe v Wade????

[Mikedavis13 at aol.com]

Joe is 100% correct here. The topic committee had an open meeting during  the 
quad debate at CEDA and, while the attendance was better than normal, most  
people decided to sleep in. Anyone can show up at any topic meeting and as  
someone who has never been on the topic committee (but has attended half a dozen  
meetings) I have never felt that my opinion was devalued or not  considered.
 
My advice is get to KC or come to any of the topic meetings during the  year. 
Or work on a topic paper for next year (Steve is soliciting ideas now for  
2007-2008). The claim that people are excluded from participating is just not  
true. Unless having a meeting at 9:30 excludes people.

The idea  that the topic process is "closed" is laughable. More likely people 
grow lazy  while they wait for the same 3 -7 people to flesh out a resolution 
that they  can complain about for the next year. 
The posts from the leadership  begging for more people to participate 
outnumber Tuna's posts about the WDI. I  won't get in to the Roe part of this 
discussion but I have to dispute the  portion of Nicole's post that identiifes this 
process as insular.
