free to worship in my own way,
free to stand for what I think right,
free to oppose what I believe wrong,
or free to choose those

This heritage of freedom

It looks like the debate will show up on the NPR download page sometime in the near future (they have the previous debates in the IQ2 series here):

Looking at the event information (http://www.intelligencesquaredus.org/Event.aspx?Event=12), I see that the "Good Guys" won!
I love the fact that while the undecideds remained unchanged, the 'For' side drew from the 'Against' crowd to come from 30% before the debate to 46% after the debate. They managed to come from behind for this one. It bodes well and I can't wait for the transcript.
