I think debating in high school and college a most valuable training whether for politics, the law, business or for service on community committees …  A good debater must not only study material in support of his own case, but he must also, of course, thoroughly analyze the expected arguments of his opponent… The give and take of debating, the testing of ideas is essential to democracy.”

~ President John F. Kennedy
