	1	+====It is estimated that 10 of the Japanese population writes haiku as a means of expressing feeling. Marking particular days with a seasonal word that is traditionally used in the format is a hallmark of the style. After the disaster that took place at Fukushima, a new word was created "Genpatsu-ki", which is used to mark nuclear power day. In this spirit, I present the affirmative case and I am resolved in affirmation of the resolution.====

	5	+====Nuclear technology is more unique than any other technology that has ever been utilized. It is an attempt to completely sever ourselves from nature. We no longer need the energy that comes from the sun, and instead, we try to recreate the sun itself. This constitutes a technological ordering which separates from our relationship with nature.====

	37	+**Dillon 99** ~~,Michael Prof of Politics- University of Lancaster, 1999. Moral Spaces p. 97-98~~
	38	+Heirs to all this, we find ourselves in the turbulent and now globalized wake of its confluence. As Heidegger-himself an especially revealing figure of the deep and mutual implication of the philosophical and the political4-never tired of pointing out, the relevance of ontology to all other kinds of thinking is fundamental and inescapable. For one cannot say anything about any-thing that is, without always already having made assumptions about (it) the is as such. Any mode of thought, in short, always already carries an ontology sequestered within it. What this ontological turn does to other-regional-modes of thought is to challenge the ontology within which they operate. The implications of that review reverberate through-out the entire mode of thought, demanding a reappraisal as fundamental as the reappraisal ontology has demanded of philosophy. With ontology at issue, the entire foundations or underpinnings of any mode of thought are rendered problematic. This applies as much to any modern discipline of thought as it does to the question of moder-nity as such, with the exception, it seems, of science, which, having long ago given up the ontological questioning of when it called itself natural philosophy, appears now, in its industrialized and corporatized form, to be invulnerable to ontological perturbation. With its foundations at issue, the very authority of a mode of thought and the ways in which it characterizes the critical issues of freedom and judgment (of what kind of universe human beings inhabit, how they inhabit it, and what counts as reliable knowledge for them in it) is also put in question. The very ways in which Nietzsche, Heidegger, and other continental philosophers challenged Western ontology, simultaneously, therefore reposed the fundamental and inescapable difficulty, or aporia, for human being of decision and judgment. In other words, whatever ontology you subscribe to, knowingly or unknowingly, as a human being you still have to act. Whether or not you know or acknowledge it, the ontology you subscribe to will construe the problem of action for you in one way rather than (or) another. You may think ontology is some arcane question of philosophy, but Nietz-sche and Heidegger showed that it intimately shapes not only a way of thinking, but a way of being, a form of life. Decision, a fortiori political decision, in short, is no mere technique. It is instead a way of being that bears an understanding of Being, and of the fundaments of the human way of being within it. This applies, indeed applies most, to those mock -innocent political slaves who claim only to be technocrats of decision making.

	42	+====I affirm that Resolved: Countries ought to prohibit the production of nuclear power. I do not affirm the resolution as a policy statement because that type of problem-solution thinking is exactly what I'm criticizing, rather I affirm the resolution as a question of thought, something to meditate on. It is in the resoluteness of being resolved that we can recapture the ability to act free of calculative thought.====

	46	+that- which-regions, to remain open towards the openness itself.
	47	+
	48	+
	49	+====This type of affirmation is a push to embrace gelassenheit. "Releasement towards things" and "openness to the mystery" is a higher action that means we do not demand answers to our problems – we wait and reconsider our relationship with the world and to be able to embrace true Being.====
