I am guessing Lincoln will wow us all with his spreading prowess.
I still have my Mead '92 memorized, but I'd be surprised if the recession hasn't led to some damn good answers to that one.
The failure to develop an international system to hedge against the possibility of worldwide depression will open their eyes to their folly. Hundreds of millions-billions-of people around the world have pinned their hopes on the international market economy.

and know at least two formal forms
Also, Lincoln look up policy debate if you want to take this to the limit
Also, six players are too many for most collegeic or highschool styles (they use two or one person per side, so 2-4 might be better)
