If the discussion topic is Minneapolis's likelihood of significant civil disobedience and preparedness for said possibility, those are local issues appropriate for this list. The 2000 presidential election results and the worth of a war against Iraq aren't. The usual disclaimer: I'm not saying these are unimportant topics, only that they are not Minneapolis-specific - and, of course, that's what the list concentrates on. Future debaters are forewarned.
