	7	+Border Patrol is responsible for the safety of the borders, but within borders, Police Officers safeguard the citizens. In contrast to border patrol officers, the police officers may be employed by the Federal, state or municipal government and is responsible for enforcing federal and state laws along with municipal ordinances. They also help maintain peace in the community by keeping a check on anti-social elements. A uniformed pro-active patrolling within the jurisdiction helps them control criminal activity and attend public calls for service. They keep a documented record of their activities.

	16	+The first major problem identified by the work group as relating to topic selection is the decline in participation in the National Debate Tournament (NDT) policy debate. As Boman notes: There is a growing dissatisfaction with academic debate that utilizes a policy proposition. Programs which are oriented toward debating the national policy debate proposition, so-called “NDT” programs, are diminishing both in scope and size. This decline in policy debate is tied, many in the work group believe, to excessively broad topics. The most obvious characteristic of some recent policy debate topics is extreme breadth. A resolution calling for regulation of land use literally and figuratively covers a lot of ground. National debate topics have not always been so broad. Before the late 1960s the topic often specified a particular policy change. The move from narrow to broad topics has had, according to some, the effect of limiting the number of students who participate in policy debate. First, the breadth of topics has all but destroyed novice debate. Paul Gaske argues that because the stock issues of policy debate are clearly defined, it is superior to value debate as a means of introducing students to the debate process. Despite this advantage of policy debate, Gaske believes that NDT debate is not the best vehicle for teaching beginners. The problem is that broad topics terrify novice debaters, especially those who lack high school debate experience. They are unable to cope with the breath of the topic and experience “negophobia,” the fear of debating negative. As a consequence, the educational advantages associated with teaching novice through policy debate are lost: “Yet all of these benefits fly out the window as rookies in their formative stage quickly experience humiliation at being caught without evidence or substantive awareness of the issues that confront them at a tournament.” The ultimate result is that fewer novices participate in NDT, thus lessening the educational value of the activity and limiting the number of debaters who eventually participate in more advanced divisions of policy debate. In addition to noting the effect on novices, participants argued that broad topics also discourage experienced debaters from continued participation in policy debate. Here, the claim is that it takes so much time and effort to be competitive on a broad topic that students who are concerned with doing more than just debate are forced out of the activity. Gaske notes, that “broad topics discourage participation because of insufficient time to do requisite research.” The final effect may be that entire programs wither cease functioning or shift to value debate as a way to avoid unreasonable research burdens. Boman supports this point: “It is this expanding necessity of evidence, and thereby research, which has created a competitive imbalance between institutions that participate in academic debate.” In this view, it is the competitive imbalance resulting from the use of broad topics that has led some small schools to cancel their programs.

	18	+====2 Textuality – my evidence is directly comparative between police and border patrol, which means it’s the best litmus test to explain why corrections officers are distinct. There’s a reason we call them border patrol- not police officers. It’s because they’re totally different law branches. Additionally, zero article before a mass noun indicates a generic statement, not a specific one – the aff misinterprets the resolution. ====
	19	+**Nordquist** Richard Nordquist Ph.D. in English, is professor emeritus of rhetoric and English at Armstrong Atlantic State University and the author of two grammar and composition textbooks for college freshmen, Writing Exercises (Macmillan) and Passages: A Writer's Guide (St. Martin's Press). Richard has served as the About.com Guide to Grammar and Composition since 2006., “zero article” about.com http://grammar.about.com/od/tz/g/zeroarticleterm.htm: The loosest and therefore most frequent type of generic statement is that expressed by the zero article with plural count nouns or with mass nouns: Kangaroos are common in Australia. Wine is one of this country's major exports. Zero article with plural count nouns may have generic or indefinite reference according to the predication: Frogs have long hind legs. (generic = all frogs) He catches frogs. (indefinite = an indefinite number of frogs) A mass noun with zero article can be considered generic even if it is modified: Colombian coffee is said to be the best.
