The Great Debate- Can ALL subjects be fully considered, analyzed ...

discussed, examined and properly and throughly discoursed upon here in The US of A  in The late Spring of 2011?

 We know that there are certain issues that are politically considered " Third Rail issues". Anyone who brings them up and expresses an UNPOPULAR opinion on those issues is likely to be severly damaged  and crippled in terms of their ability to be seen ever again as likeable, able to be thought well of and acceptable. Expressing some opinions seem to set one up to be readily dismissed and scorned. These are the opinions that can destroy reputations and tar and stain those who express them.- unless you berate them and declare that they are anathema and need to be totally and fully dismissed as being FULLY unworthy of being supported!

 Yet, My College Debate Professor, Dr. Mike Wallinger, believed that the BEST and MOST Talented debate could discuss anything fully and excellently. The best debaters SHOULD, he believed, be able to express even the most "seemingly dismissable" opinions fully, properly and fairly!

 An Old Toastmaster Mentor of Mine, Art Kelly believed that the best speakers, debaters, analyzer and advocates could discuss anything fully and do so in a way that would STILL allow him or her to 'Win friends and influence people".

Do you believe that Mike Wallinger and Art Kelly are correct on this matter?
