The nice thing about a debate a real debate with points and counter points is that at the end, there is a declared winner. In this case, the winner was: Yes, too many kids go to college. The debate was the first-ever Chicago dust-up held by Open to Debate formerly known as Intelligence Squared U.S., an Oxford-style debate program, headquartered in New York City (and based on a similar London program), that spars over topics from clean energy to the Middle East.
