lgf admiringly links to this blog, and THIS (among other things) is what I'm up against:

If we were Affirmative, we might have written a neat little case outlining the critical and extremely urgent need for... oh, let’s say conjugal visits. (We perpetually horny high school dorks really seemed to like arguing that case waaaay beyond its effective shelf life.) We had card after card after card of evidence citing things like an Authoritative Study done at Florida State University that showed unequivocally how Conjugal Visits reduce the incidents of prison violence to negative numbers and cause prisoners to start lending libraries and donate their cigarette money to Battered Women’s Shelters. However, if we randomly ended up as the Negative team, and sat facing other dorks who claimed that conjugal visitation reduce [SIC] the incidents of prison violence to negative numbers and cause prisoners to start lending libraries and donate their cigarette money to Battered Women’s Shelters, then we would have to pull out card after card after card showing that an Important and Thorough Investigation carried out by The University of Florida proved conclusively that Conjugal Visitation had in fact no measurable effect at all, or, better, caused prisoners to murder guards by hanging them by their own entrails due to their aroused, inter-conjugal libidos.

I wish to God I could write 10,000 words on every topic, if that's what it takes to get noticed; but many topics deserve TWO WORDS, and more than a few NONE AT ALL. TOO MANY BIG-NAME BLOGGERS BLOVIATE.
