+Since the founding of University School in 1890, the School has produced visionaries in education, finance, law, medicine, communications, athletics, science, and the arts. As important as their achievements, generations of US men have lived by the guiding values of Responsibility, Loyalty, and Consideration. We are US! The Campaign for University School ensures we continue our tradition of transforming lives by equipping young men with an outstanding education that develops the confidence and skills required to make a difference in the world. In order to accomplish this, the Campaign focuses on four bedrock commitments that grew from our strategic plan. Taken together, these initiatives guide us to new heights in the near term and strengthen our foundation for future generations: |

+Note that the Canal Zone is not a federal State, Territory, or possession of the U.S., but is still being classified as a State! But, then, you must always look at the title, chapter, section, subsection, or, sometimes even sentence, to determine the specific intent. Again, there is no ONE statutory United States. This is incontestable from the dozens and dozens of definitions of the United States in the statutes and codes. And yet one is usually thought weird to contest the underlying theme of the whole IRC namely, that there is only one United States the whole nation. This is fatuous, of course, when you really think about it which almost no one does. Not just because of the Hooven case, above, but because of the numbing the number of variations on the definition of the United States in the IRC. Some say are over 200, which is perhaps too many, but certainly more than one. In this title (12), Banks and Banking, they always seem to use the universally recognized restrictive word means, rather than the IRC s term of choice, includes, that has beguiled, deceived, deluded, hoodwinked, misdirected, and, most of all victimized, basically, the whole country. Such as in 215b(2) Definitions: |

+This is a reason to vote neg—plan vagueness ensures bad policy—bad for education—it’s a voter—precludes role of the ballot because there’s no way to know the effect that the plan would have in the real world. 90 of policymaking is deciding on implementation. |

+The emergence of implementation as a subject for policy analysis coincides closely with the discovery by policy analysts that decisions are not self-executing. Analysis of policy choices matter very little if the mechanism for implementing those choices is poorly understood in answering the question, "What percentage of the work of achieving a desired governmental action is done when the preferred analytic alternative has been identified?" Allison estimated that in the normal case, it was about 10 percent, leaving the remaining 90 percent in the realm of implementation. |

+Vote negative – it’s impossible to debate an aff that does nothing and it’s not in your jurisdiction to vote for a policy that can never actually exist—hurts education and real-world applicability. |
