Writing Prompt # 1

Write a story based on your go to Cause. It could be PETA, AARP, NRA, Going Bare Foot in the Summertime, that part doesn't matter as much. Have four people argue on this topic.
Person # 1 is passionate about the Cause. They are well informed and have notes.
Person # 2 is the authority on the subject. Started the case even, but for whatever reason, does not care at all about the arguement. They're texting, they'll fell asleep, they'll try and change the subject.
Person # 3 is sort of informed. He knows as much as the average Joe would know about this subject, but refuses to lose this arguement. He'll make up facts, He'll be insulting and He'll talk over others.
Person # 4 knows nothing about the subject matter and doesn't want to argue. He was forced into the conversation and is just trying not to look likke an idiot. Convey all this, without giving any backstory or identification outside of dialog.
