Narratives are constructed to appeal to the prevailing norms of society - your narrative is the system you criticize

Narrative is ontologically constituted the same as law causing the audience of narrative to unintentionally support the system criticized by the narrative

oppression but also a fight for the ownership of speaking. 

Using experience automatically legitimizes the speaker’s knowledge – non-falsifiable claims prevent discursive inquiry, this destroys education and argumentation

Concerns about drones’ proliferation are

Their extinction claims requires a defense of the intrinsic value of human survival as separated from other forms of life. This involves the images of distinctly good human life contrasted to the banal useless existence of the genes. This makes the aff an effect of a species-contingent survival paradigm which abandons bare life.

Text: The United States federal government should amend the War Powers Resolution to prohibit the offensive use of remotely piloted aircraft for vicious murder by unpiloted aircraft under the war powers authority of the President of the United States.

A. INTERP AND VIOLATION:
“restrictions” on is a plural and countable noun – plan effects a single restriction, which is sub-topical.
http://www.macmillandictionary.com/dictionary/american/restriction

COUNTABLE OFTEN PLURAL a rule, action, or situation that limits or controls someone or something
trade/travel/speed/parking restrictions
restriction on: The county faces restrictions on the use of water for irrigating crops.
impose/place restrictions : The judge had imposed further restrictions on the reporting of the case.
lift/remove restrictions : We are asking the government to lift all restrictions on food shipments.
Thesaurus entry for this meaning of restriction
a.UNCOUNTABLE the act of limiting or controlling someone or something
The restriction of press freedom is seen as an abuse of human rights.

B. VOTE NEG:

1. Jurisdiction – grammar delineates the scope of the ballot – T is a rule and outweighs everything – hasty generalizations do not suffice
   2. Neg ground – PICs with topic lit are hardwired into the resolution – our standard is also key to neg ‘link uniqueness’
   3. Aff limits – abstract treatment of plural nouns cannot preserve a concrete cap on total plans, only count-ability begets a stable case list and aff mechanisms
