This Is the Model for Candidate Debate

The Encinitas City Council Candidate Forums - where all candidates will present their statements and be questioned by the community are scheduled as follows:

Sept. 18 (Tues.) Cardiff-by-the-Sea
Oct. 3 (Wed.) Olivenhain
Oct. 9 (Tues.) Leucadia - New and Old Encinitas

Debate is still the terminology used, but real debate as taught in western culture's academic tradition is extinct.  Anyone who watched the ridiculousness of the months of Republican primary debates can attest to this.

The clip below shows what voters could be exposed to with articulate candidates educated and aware of the issues and willing to stand for principles worth defending against the mediocre, the mendacious.
