I think it's perfectly fair to have on "silly" topics, if the silly advocates are set up against skeptics who are strong debaters who usually proceed to kick silly butt all over the place. Nothing wrong with it. Seriously. It's instructive for the nation's youth.

It's instructive and worthwhile, and I agree it should happen somewhere. It's just not what I thought BhTV was all about.
