The Anselmian Ontological "Proof" of god's existence is flawed.

Definitions: Humanity - Fairly obvious. Ought - a moral obligation to do something. Animals - Non-human creatures (excluding insects and such) Basic rights - Right to Life, right not to be treated inhumanly, etc. Besides what consitutes "basic rights", all the definitions are fairly obvious. Seman...

Resolved: Mitt Romney would make a better, more effective president than Mitt Romney.
First round is acceptance and where I lay out the rules and format. This DOES have to be somewhat organized, you MUST signpost, you MUST have contentions (how many is up to you). You do not have to have a value or value criterion. Evidence: Citations are necessary ONLY if the opponent asks for them, you may NOT use: Fox News, MSNBC or Rush Limbaugh. You MAY or quetion attack methodology of evidence....
