SPI 1/18, (SEATTLE POST-INTELLIGENCER EDITORIAL BOARD, “Farm Bill: A cry for reform”, http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/opinion/347945_farmed.html) 

When the Senate…so far escaped congress.

Lee 5, The Rose Institute of State & Local Government – Claremont McKenna College – Presented at the Georgia Political Science Association Conference [Andrew, “Invest or Spend?:Political capital and Statements of Administration Policy in the First Term of the George W. Bush Presidency,” http://a-s.clayton.edu/trachten berg/2005%20Proceedings%20Lee .pdf] 

With these words…veto more credible. 

Reform proposals are crucial to fighting global poverty---the AFF sacrifices the livelihood of 2.5 billion people, 10 million in Africa---turning case

New Hampshire 7, 11/6/2007 (http://media.www.tnhonline.com/media/storage/paper674/news/2007/11/06/Commen tary/U.s- Farm.Bill.Promotes. Global.Poverty-3080136-page2.shtml)

Coppell BK – Affirmative – Palliative Care


Stage 1 is Depression

Initially note, current aid focuses on prolonging life rather than listening to the African’s wishes of dying a peaceful death at home.

Gerald Onyewuchi Onukwugha, professor at St. Mary’s Seminary and University, 10/7/07, “Death and Dying in the African Context.”

Even though statistics show many people prefer a quick and painless death, ideally while one is asleep, it is different in Africa…

recognize the values of the African patient, who values highly the sanctity of life.


Palliative care is a crucial part of quality HIV/AIDS care

Richard Harding, Research Fellow, Department of Palliative Care and Policy, Guy's, King's and St Thomas' Medical School, King's College, London, 4/7/04, “News Report on Palliative Care.”

Palliative care is increasingly recognised as a required component for quality HIV…

and spiritual wellbeing (2).


And, palliative care is a key part of preventing HIV/AIDS

Kathleen M. Foley, Attending Neurologist at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, 12/07/02, “How Much Palliative Care Do We Need?” < http://209.85.165.104/search?q=cache:lfedByHSDwAJ:health.osf.lt/downloads/news/Foley-2Dec%255B1%255D.2002-How-Much-Palliative-Care-Do-We-Need.doc+palliative+care+sub-Saharan+Africa+US+needs+to+do+it&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=5&gl=us>

Yet in these discussions, little attention has been focused on the critical role of palliative care …

AIDS and tuberculosis.


Plan: The United States federal government should substantially increase its assistance of palliative care programs to patients afflicted by Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome to so-called sub-Saharan Africa.
Stage 2 is Anger

Palliative care is key to empowerment of the victims of HIV/AIDS by focusing on the patient instead of their disease

Robert G. Twycross, MD Oxford University, 11 July 2006, “End of Life Care: Unmet Needs and Worldwide Challenge” < http://2006.confex.com/uicc/uicc/techprogram/P194.HTM>

An essential feature of palliative care is a patient-[centered] approach …

demoralized patients, both speed and time is of the essence. As one patient is reported as saying:
Stage 3 is Depression

The ultimate tragedy of life is not death, but life without a value

Robert G. Twycross, MD Oxford University, 11 July 2006, “End of Life Care: Unmet Needs and Worldwide Challenge”.

A promise we can keep and a hope we can give is the certainty that no man or …

and of suffering.

Stage 4 is Bargaining

The U.S. has to do the plan. 3 reasons.

A. Innovation

Marconi K, prof at Columbia Univ, 2002, “Innovations in Models of Palliative Care”

An initiative by the HIV/AIDS Bureau, Health Resources and Services Admin ...

with an appreciation of the life circumstances of the affected population.
B. Training

Kathryn McConnell, Washington File Staff Writer, 31 October 2006, “U.S. Philanthropy Boosting Training in Palliative Care”

U.S. philanthropy is supporting efforts to help health care providers in Jordan …

they begin to treat people who are nearing the end of their lives, Wheeler said.


C. Modeling

Health Gap, January 1 2006, “Urgent Call on US Initiative on Health Workforce on AIDS-Impacted Countries”

Urgent Call for U.S. Initiative on Health Workforce in AIDS-Impacted Countries …

NigeriaEmpowerment Network, Nigeria HIV/AIDS Alliance (YOHA), Nigeria


Stage 5 is Acceptance

American culture treats death as a taboo. We must realize death is an inevitable process of living and that finding a meaning for our lives is much more crucial. Palliative care is critical to discovering a new meaning of our lives and increasing the quality of our lives – even when the end is approaching. We must move past our fear of death.

Jimmie Holland, Chief of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York, and a professor of psychiatry at Cornell University Medical College, 2004, “The Last Taboo”

Talking about the deeper meaning of life and death is still a taboo …

soon, exploring the meaning of life and death will no longer be taboo.
And, society has become suppressed by its inherent fear of dying. Americans are fighting a new war on the western front, one against death itself.

Steven I. Friedland, Professor of Law at Nova Southeastern University, Shepard Broad Law Center, Cleveland State University Journal of Law and Health, 10 J.L. & Health 95, 1995/1996

The demise of the belief in the good death has prompted the adoption of a new form of heroism …

death, in turn, has spurred its avoidance.

Humans use political ideology in order to preserve their lives. They demand that the slaughter of their enemies is as part of an impossible quest to destroy death itself. War itself is not the issue but rather the drive behind it.

Louis Rene Beres, Professor of International Law at Purdue, International Journal on World Peace, No. 3, Volume 16, September 1st, 1999

Behind the play of nations and their wars lies the wish of individual citizens …

is spawned by the primal terror of individuals, but it is their fate to create necropolis.


While it may be impossible to eliminate fear of death – we must reorient ourselves to accept death.

Randall Horton, physician specialized in treating HIV/AIDS, May 23 2007, “Becoming Familiar with Death”

Although every human is ultimately successful at achieving death …

face death head on and in close proximity.


And, Err on the side of probable impacts - their so called experts don’t understand the future of political affairs and cannot accurately predict events.

Menand 2005 (Louis ,phd Colombia and Robert M. and Anne T. Bass Professor of English and American Literature and Language at Harvard University., The New Yorker, 12-05-2005, http://www.newyorker.com/critics/content/articles/051205crbo_books1 )

Prediction is one of the pleasures of life. Conversation would wither without it. “It won’t last. She’ll dump him in a month …

reluctant to draw: Think for yourself.


And, major war is obsolete – multiple factors prevent escalation and conflict.

Mandelbaum, American foreign policy professor at the Nitze School of Advanced International Studies at Johns Hopkins University, 1999 (Michael, “Is Major War Obsolete?”, http://www.ciaonet.org/conf/cfr10/)

My argument says, tacitly, that while this point of view, which was widely believed 100 years ago, was not true then, there are reasons to think that it is true …

haltingly but increasingly, like that.


And, don’t buy the negative’s politically-based arguments – it is empirically a manipulation of the public’s fear of death to achieve certain political goals.

John B. Judis, staffwriter for The New Republic, 08.17.07 “HOW POLITICAL PSYCHOLOGY EXPLAINS BUSH'S GHASTLY SUCCESS.” https://ssl.tnr.com/p/docsub.mhtml?i=20070827&s=judis082707

The latest issue of the New Republic has a fascinating article, which discusses …

wide-ranging multidimensional mortality salience induction.”


And, suppressing phrase like “sub-Saharan” because it is offensive preserves its injurious meaning – only by using the language can space be opened to reconstruct a more humane meaning.

John Agnew, professor at University of California, Los Angeles, “Progress in Human Geography,” 28,5 (2004) pp. 619–640.

The question inevitably arises as to whether using an old word …

but with his failure to note its novelty.


Furthermore, health assistance is inevitable – people want assistance – the question should not be whether but how to give aid

Richard Peet, BSc (economics from the London School of Economic, 1999, “Theories of Development”)

In the case of development, however, the ethical problems …

depending on circumstance.
And, the status quo’s conception of death emphasizes the management and control of the body – the plan’s reorientation of death solves the biopolitics of control

David Wendell Moller, Professor of sociology at School of Liberal Arts, 2000 “Fear and Denial of Death”.

The fear of dying is intensified because dying persons are defiled, …

and kept under control.


Shred your disads – public health assistance was just increased.


Racism Add – On


A. End of life care is key to breaking down racial disparities in health care

Duke Institute on Care at the End of Life. “Initiative to Improve Palliative Care for African Americans (IIPCA)” 2004, http://www.iceol.duke.edu/resources/lastmiles/papers/02_print.html>

Major challenges face African American individuals and communities …
B. Continued colonialism contributes to immeasurable dehumanization

Nobel Peace Prize laureate, Archbishop Desmond Tutu 5 September 2001

Ecumenical caucus statement at World Conference Against Racism http://www.oikoumene.org/index.php?id=2442.)

Racism dehumanizes, disempowers, marginalizes and impoverishes human beings. ... of resources, and the decimation of communities and nations.
