Description

BoP shared

My opponent must argue California is greater.

Greater definition that must be agreed on.

"of a more excellent or effective type or quality."

Thanks for the vote. Can't say I disagree with your conclusion.

Last chance. No votes for a short well-contested debate.

BUMP

Things that go 'bump' in the night
Should not really give one a fright.
It's the hole in each ear
That lets in the fear,
That, and the absence of light!
