so much for the city
salt lake city was a blast. i was a fucking ballot away from breaking and i went like 7-5. which sucks. i mean its good but its not good enough. i debated fairly well apparently though. and i’m almost 99% sure that the reason i dropped the 8th ballot that would’ve gauranteed a runoff round for me because i offended the judge. i said something along the lines of “civil disobedience gives the right wing ‘proof’ that the left wing is all a bunch of wackos.” and i was using it in the context of the same-sex marriage thing which is indeed a fueled-by-leftists movement and i also contend that the majority of civil disobedience is done by left wing people. but what-the-fuck. he didn’t need to drop my ballot just cos i misspoke once. in cross-examination no less. and besides that.. i did apologize for it multiple times and corrected myself (changed right wing to majority and left wing to minority). fuckers. i also believe i should’ve one first round hands down. but whatever. what can i do about that? goddammit. (this is me trying not to be bitter about what happened in high school).
maybe i’ll write about the touristy things later.
