Smithville Debate. But not for long Plan: The United States should enter in binding consultation with Congressman Ron Paul on whether we should.. Contention One: Hell be pissed Ron Paul is against government secrecy, believing that it culminates into greater security issues. Consulting him ensures disclosure of actions and prevents his anger from being incited. Ron Paul in 10 (http://www.ronpaul.com/2010-12-05/wikileaks-exposes-u-s-governments-delusional-foreignpolicy/; December 5th, 2010)
No one questions the status quo or suggests a wholesale rethinking of our foreign policy. No one
suggests that the White House or the State Department should be embarrassed that the U.S. engages in spying and meddling. The only embarrassment is that it was made public. This allows ordinary people to actually know and talk about what the government does. But state
secrecy is anathema to a free society. Why exactly should Americans be prevented from knowing what their government is doing in their name? In a free society, we are supposed to know the truth. In a society where truth becomes treason, however, we are in big trouble. The truth is
that our foreign spying, meddling, and outright military intervention in the post-World War II era has made us less secure, not more. And we have lost countless lives and spent trillions of dollars for our trouble. Too
often official government lies have provided justification for endless, illegal wars and hundreds of thousands of resulting deaths and casualties. Take the recent hostilities in Korea as only one example. More than fifty years after the end of the Korean War, American taxpayers continue to spend billions for the U.S. military to defend a modern and wealthy South Korea. The continued presence of the U.S. military places American lives between the two factions. The U.S. presence only serves to prolong the conflict, further drain our empty treasury, and place our military at risk. Contention Two: Ron Paul is Awesome 1.

political opportunists.
need the Lord Jesus Christ right now and we need him when we die. May you save yourselves from this untoward, wicked, and perverse generation (ref. Acts 2:40). Look at all the sins in this wicked world. Each man, woman, boy, and girl has contributed their share of sins by lying, stealing, etc. The Son of God came down here to the earth in the form of a man named Jesus. While he was here, the Lord Jesus Christ taught us how to live and left us the record in his word, the Authorized King James Bible. When the Lord Jesus was about 30 years old, he was nailed to a cross where he
shed his precious blood to pay for our sins so that we can be forgiven of our sins. But our Lord Jesus Christ did not remain dead--it was not possible that the Son of God should be holden by death (Acts 2:24). God the Father raised Jesus Christ from the dead on the third day and now he is alive for evermore watching over his church and helping us. If you are not saved, you need to be saved. We all need the blood of Jesus to cleanse us from our sins so that we can know God through his word, the holy Bible, and do what is right. The gospel message is simple, (1) Repent of your sins, (2) believe that Jesus died for your sins and rose from the dead, and (3) obey the beautiful, perfect, life-giving words of Jesus (ref. Heb. 5:9). When
you get saved by the blood of Jesus and start obeying the word, you get a new kind of life and a new mind. Thieves stop stealing and start living honestly. Liars start telling the truth. Whores start walking uprightly as sanctified, holy women. Drunkards become sober and upright. Behold, all things become new when you live your life by the words of Jesus, praise his blessed and holy name for ever, Amen.
While some medical theories postulated that the midi-chlorians created the
connection between more macroscopic organisms and the Force, some Jedi
believed that, contrarily, the midi-chlorians were created by the Force to serve as the link between it and other life.[3] Midi-chlorian counts did not indicate an
upper limit to Force ability; the possibility existed for a Jedi to achieve a connection to the Force on an equivalent level to a Jedi with a higher
Midi-chlorians could be influenced by the Force to create new life, a technique developed by Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Plagueis.[11] There was even a possibility that they could induce conception in a Human; Anakin Skywalker was believed to have been conceived by the midi-chlorians, with no biological father.[1] This was
count. considered impossible by many Jedi, however, and the idea received only shock when it was first proposed to the Jedi Council.

users were capable of channeling the energy of The Force directly into the world around them. The Sith were infamous for making heavy use of this ability to conjure Force-lightning, or Force-choke enemies by constricting their windpipes. The Jedi preferred to use their abilities to heal and protect; closing wounds and shielding others with barriers of Force energy. Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn discovered that Jedi could achieve near-immortality through the Force by existing as a Force ghost after death.1 Some Force users even learned how to transfer their spirit into another body. Palpatine used this technique in order to prolong his life, and evidence suggests the legendary Dark Jedi Set Harth, who fell to the dark side in the aftermath of the New Sith Wars, used this power to leapfrog his essence between hundreds of clone bodies, lingering in the physical realm up until the Yuuzhan Vong invasion and beyond. Later Callista Ming transferred herself to the body of a dying friend so that she could stay alive. Callista, unlike Harth and Palpatine, lost her ability to touch the Force in the process of transference. Others, such as Darth Nihilus and the Jedi Exile, could use the Force to feed off other Force users. Nihilus' power could encompass entire planets and drain them of life, like the Miraluka colony world of Katarr.
Some dark side users could use a different and weaker form of this technique to drain the strength of others into themselves, occasionally to fatal results. Darth Nihilus' ability to do this originated from a "Wound
in the Force", which is essentially a rip in the fabric of the Force itself. Palpatine mentioned that the Force could help one cheat death, or create life, a secret mastered only by Darth Plagueis. Another Sith Lord, Darth Sion, used a more indirect method to cheat death. As he could call upon his pain to strengthen his will and allow him to rise up again as strong as he was beforehand, he was arguably immortal.
