Christensen,+Eric

**Beware** I am the first and last of my kind. I am a Great Mid-Western Red Ape. No poaching please!

I am not going to go too greatly in depth for this philosophy. Dana Christensen in my brother and I taught him everything he knows. With that being said if you have questions about how I might judge a round you can look at his philosophy, I think nearly all of it applies to me as well. I am also a four year debater from Millard North and spent two years debating at the University of Iowa. I consider myself a strong flower and will hold you to the flow but I also believe that truth trumps tech. So just because you have more dropped arguments doesn’t mean you are going to win. I was initially skeptical of non-traditional debate but have now come to see its value within the community. I am equally willing to listen to traditional debates. I would say that 95% of my 2NRs as a debater were politics debates. I was also the politics update person for every team I have been on. It is near and dear to me. Would love to hear some politics rounds. I did work at a summer camp so I am familiar with the basics of <span style="background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0.917969); color: #222222; font-family: arial,sans-serif;">the topic but this will be my first round this year. Overall, do what you <span style="background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0.917969); color: #222222; font-family: arial,sans-serif;">do best and have fun.
