Mock Chaos II

Mock Congress has come, and in most classes gone. We came out of our caucuses and our committees to our floor debates. None of the representatives was particularly interested in debating nor were their compatriots interested in what exactly "hunting within city limits" or "more money for poor schools" meant. Or maybe that was all part of the spin.

In the end though, dispite debating skills not really being practiced (if they exist at all) we were sucessful. The majority party won, most of the time... except when Congress was perfectly divided and then they got mad at me for allowing one student to go to the blood drive. The majority leader bossed people around.

Anyway it is over, and it was fun... it took me an hour and a half to write and it took three days in class to finish. Except for the grading I like those payoffs.
