Framework:

1. The judge should weigh the round by the impacts of the affirmative
to the impacts of the negative.
2. Methodology should be considered first. Bad methodology leads to
bad policies. We must question are methodology to see if it is correct
or not before we look at the actions it gives. Ex: In the cold war, The
United States spent millions of dollars to try to make a pen that could
work in space, whereas the Russia used a pencil.
3. Kritik are the only way in which we can begin to challenge the way
we initially think about topics such as the criminal justice system. This
increases our educational system. If we only think in one mindset then
we cant see the possibilities from another standpoint.
4. Core Negative Ground: The K links to this Aff case specifically, and it
is rooted in the topic literature.
Thesis: The criminal Justice System and America in general is capitalist
because they create multiple distinctions of classes of race, and
wealth. This is bad because a caste system creates dehumanization.
When the affirmative gets considers using the Criminal Justice system,
he invokes, capitalism.

The conventional wisdom at this point was that Simpson

probably did it, but that he might still get off because he was a
rich and popular celebrity. Race was not often mentioned in this connection. Indeed, some commentators
were of the opinion that black jurors from South Central Los Angeles would have difficulty identifying with an affluent Brentwood celebrity who
had been married to a white woman, lived in a white world, and could afford the best lawyers.

The Criminal Justice System is fundamentally flawed. A wealthy

celebrity with amazing lawyers can get away with murder. By following

that there are conflicting views as to

can motivate individuals to commit crime or create the
circumstances that serve as a breeding ground for crime,
especially property crime. Several theories have been used in this writing to tie-in to the
the motivations of crime and the influences on criminal behavior. Economic deprivation or

socio-economics of crime. Nevertheless, there are many who are poor but still choose to live a life of high
moral standards and to adhere to societal norms. As such, poverty can not be a lone explanatory variable for crime.

Solutions for reducing crime rates based on economic

causation are clearly fraught with problems. More social
programs, subsidies, government housing, funded education,
or community service programs only create more dependency
on outside help. Politically, such programs are not widely acceptable because someone has to
pay for those programs. Ultimately, if it were accepted that economic
conditions are a causal factor for crime, then it will invariably get worse,
as more people the population and a higher proportion of the population are in the lower economic class. All indications
in our society are that poverty will increase and the proportion
of people who make a significant income will decline. Factors
include the immigrating poor, inflation, taxation policies, jobs
going overseas, an increase in cost of living, and a reduction in
consumer spending. The increase in poverty will no doubt lead
to continued increases in property crimes, theft, and robbery.
People who are in a lower socio economic status are fundamentally
more likely to commit crimes, giving them a severe disadvantage
before they even start. The capitalist society tries to help the poor, by
giving them community service programs, but as Hall said, they
become more dependent. Capitalism doesnt solve the root problem of
the poor and their likeliness to go to prison

3. So lets say the advantages are evened out, and poor people and rich
people have the same chance of going to prison, even then, rich
people have a better life style in prison than the average person does.

A two tier society for prison.

There are two criminal justice systems in the United States.
One is for people with wealth, fame or influence who can afford to hire top-notch
attorneys and public relations firms, who make campaign contributions to sheriffs, legislators and other elected officials, and who
enjoy certain privileges due to their celebrity status or the size
of their bank accounts. The other justice system is for
everybody else.
As one example of this dichotomy, for over a decade suburban jails in Southern California have been

These pay-tostay programs, also called self-pay jails, cost wealthy prisoners
between $45 and $175 a day and include such amenities as
iPods, cell phones, computers, private cells and work release
programs. Some even let prisoners (who are referred to as clients) bring in their own food.
renting upscale cells to affluent people convicted of crimes in Los Angeles County.

Clarke Later writes

Following arrest, poor defendants often have to sit in jail sometimes
for years while their cases wind through the court system while those with sufficient funds can
afford to make bond. For the very rich, bail can range into the millions of dollars, which they can easily pay.
Indigent prisoners are represented by overworked and
underfunded public defenders with huge caseloads, or court-appointed
attorneys who may or may not be experienced or competent in criminal cases. Wealthy defendants can
hire private counsel or even a team of lawyers. In the O.J.
Simpson murder prosecution, Simpsons dream team, headed by late attorney Johnnie Cochran,
cost an estimated $3-6 million.
The one place in the criminal justice system where there was at least an appearance of equality among the
economic classes was incarceration. Jail was jail for both the rich and poor. Now even that bastion of equal
treatment has fallen with the rise of pay-to-stay jails for well-off prisoners who can afford them .

It really exemplifies the two-tier nature of the American

criminal justice system, where you have one system of justice
for the poor and politically unconnected and another system of
justice for the wealthy and politically connected, said PLN editor Paul
Wright.

1. In the almost five years that have elapsed since the second earth
summit has become increasingly difficult to separate the class
and imperial war inherent to capitalism from war on the planet
itself. At a time when the United States is battling for imperial control of the richest oil region on earth, the ecology
of the planet is experiencing rapid deterioration, marked most
dramatically by global warming. Meanwhile, neoliberal economic restructuring emanating from the
new regime of monopoly-finance capital is not only undermining the economic welfare of much of humanity, but in some regions is removing
such basic ecological conditions of human existence as access to clean air, drinkable water, and adequate food. Ecologists who once warned of
the possibility of future apocalypse now insist that global disaster is on our doorstep. Bill McKibben, author of The End of Nature, declared in
his article The Debate is Over in the November 17, 2005, issue of Rolling Stone magazine that we are now entering the Oh Shit era of
global warming. At first, he wrote, there was the I wonder what will happen? era. Then there was the Can this really be true? era. Now we

Lovelock highlights a number of positive feedback mechanisms that couldand in his view almost certainly

The destructive effect of increasing global

temperatures on ocean algae and tropical forests (on top of the
direct removal of these forests) will, it is feared, reduce the capacity

temperatures.8 In Lovelocks cataclysmic view, the earth has probably already passed the point of no return and

temperatures are destined to rise eventually as much as 8 C (14 F) in temperate regions. The human species will survive in some form, he
assures us. Nevertheless he points to an imminent shift in our climate towards one that could easily be described as Hell: so hot, so deadly
that only a handful of the teeming billions now alive will survive.9 He offers as the sole means of partial salvation a massive technical
fix: a global program to expand nuclear power facilities throughout the earth as a limited substitute to the carbon-dioxide emitting fossil fuel
economy. The thought that such a Faustian bargain would pave its own path to hell seems scarcely to have crossed his mind. Lovelocks fears
are not easily dismissed. James Hansen, who did so much to bring the issue of global warming to world attention, has recently issued his own
warning. In an article entitled The Threat to the Planet (New York Review of Books, July 13, 2006), Hansen points out that animal and plant
species are migrating throughout the earth in response to global warmingthough not fast enough in relation to changes in their
environmentsand that alpine species are being pushed off the planet. We are facing, he contends, the possibility of mass extinctions
associated with increasing global temperature comparable to earlier periods in the earths history in which 50 to 90 percent of living species
were lost. The greatest immediate threat to humanity from climate change, Hansen argues, is associated with the destabilization of the ice
sheets in Greenland and Antarctica. A little more than 1 C (1.8 F) separates the climate of today from the warmest interglacial periods in the
last half million years when the sea level was as much as sixteen feet higher. Further, increases in temperature this century by around 2.8 C
(5 F) under business as usual could lead to a long term rise in sea level by as much as eighty feet, judging by what happened the last time
the earths temperature rose this highthree million years ago. We have, Hansen says, at most ten yearsnot ten years to decide upon
action but ten years to alter fundamentally the trajectory of greenhouse gas emissionsif we are to prevent such disastrous outcomes from
becoming inevitable. One crucial decade, in other words, separates us from irreversible changes that could produce a very different world. The
contradictions of the entire Holocenethe geological epoch in which human civilization has developedare suddenly being revealed in our
time.10 In the Oh shit era, the debate, McKibben says, is over. There is no longer any doubt that global warming represents a crisis of earthshaking proportions. Yet, it is absolutely essential to understand that this is only one part of what we call the environmental
crisis. The global ecological threat as a whole is made up of a large number of interrelated crises and problems that are
confronting us simultaneously. In my 1994 book, The Vulnerable Planet, I started out with a brief litany of some of these, to
which others might now be added:
Overpopulation, destruction of the ozone layer, global warming, extinction of species,
loss of genetic diversity, acid rain, nuclear contamination, tropical deforestation, the elimination of climax forests, wetland
destruction, soil erosion, desertification, floods, famine, the despoliation of lakes, streams, and rivers, the drawing down and
contamination of ground water, the pollution of coastal waters and estuaries, the destruction of coral reefs, oil spills,
overfishing, expanding landfills, toxic wastes, the poisonous effects of insecticides and herbicides, exposure to hazards on the
job, urban congestion, and the depletion of nonrenewable resources.11 The point is that not just global warming but many of these
other problems as well can each be seen as constituting a global ecological crisis. Today every major ecosystem on the earth is in decline.

Underlying this is
the fact that the class/imperial war that defines capitalism as a

a juggernaut that knows no limits. In this deadly conflict the
natural world is seen as a mere instrument of world social
domination. Hence, capital by its very logic imposes what is in
effect a scorched earth strategy. The planetary ecological crisis
is increasingly all-encompassing, a product of the destructive
uncontrollability of a rapidly globalizing capitalist economy,
which knows no law other than its own drive to exponential
expansion.
