And maybe consider that those Nascar folk DO want Rightful Liberty; that may open lots of new possibilities.<br /><br />You're looking for agreement and agreement doesn't matter, contra what Curtiis charged of me. All that matters is that people who want to live, make one simple decision that consists of one single word toward thugs---"No." And mean it of course, which is where the courage comes in.<br /><br />The goal is to live YOUR life, so all action must be consistent with that. Those who would stop it, bye-bye. Those who wouldn't, are either potential allies or don't matter. A huge part of the scam is the belief that those who would stop you are overwhelming in number and force. That's simply false, that's all---a tough challenge, yes, but insurmountable, no.<br /><br />Those NASCAR fans don't give a shit about you or me, or even the craziness all around us. The shocker is that they don't have to; they just need to want to live THEIR lives. In my experience, the vast majority do. Ask Zoomie.<br /><br />This whole mess arose from everyone worrying about everyone else. Buying into that paradigm won't help a lick; that's why it never has. The answer has ALWAYS been in the mirror, since the battle has ALWAYS been Individualism versus Collectivism.Jim Kleinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4236695365244926782.post-56789686722768103932014-09-05T06:24:13.634-07:002014-09-05T06:24:13.634-07:00The problem is the politics in most dojos - Aiki a...The problem is the politics in most dojos - Aiki and otherwise, are more akin to Brown University than DoI.<br /><br />Any idea how we get as many people to "actively" support Rightful Liberty as those who choose Aiki, or Redskins, or Nascar?<br /><br />Because I have tried most of the PR/marketing/sales methods I know, and I could sell more people on snake oil than Rightful Liberty. And I'm a damned good sales guy. ;)Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17465944474238091234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4236695365244926782.post-38661068138707313252014-09-05T06:18:48.305-07:002014-09-05T06:18:48.305-07:00Lucky break then, that it's not about math. H...Lucky break then, that it's not about math. How powerful was Henry Ford? What did Rand manage? How many lives did Steve Jobs affect?<br /><br />I guess I'll be sayin' it to the end...most everyone is looking the wrong way. When you look at what you can't control, it should be no surprise that it doesn't get controlled. Unless one chooses to live as a thug, there's only one person any of us can control. Duh.<br /><br />So socially the first question must be, "Do I wish to be a thug or not?"<br /><br />Voila...the NAP, ZAP, whatever. When a bunch of people choose it, voila...Rightful Liberty.

Absolutely nothing." You think the guy really believes that? Do you? Skip it, that's rhetorical.<br /><br />Here's me, from an email..."Society has to be built on what we ALL share, and that's why I write about what I do." So what's that, hippy or anarchist in your, ahem, esoteric imagination?<br /><br />Besides, I can't imagine what more you'd want---this IS anarchy and yes, it does suck. Just like everyone imagined...biggest gangs getting the most loot.<br /><br />Now "Rightful Liberty"...that sounds a little new-agey, doesn't it? You be sure and inform, but what's the move if you declare it new-agey? And shit, what about that "just power" deriving "from the consent of the governed"? Did that mean anything, or do we simply let that go?Jim Kleinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4236695365244926782.post-57662271102376251472014-09-04T15:16:59.700-07:002014-09-04T15:16:59.700-07:00Mmm...

It might also depend on the mindset of the people you're surrounded by and whether or not they will tolerate any of that hippy based, new world, esoteric, anarchist bullshit.<br /><br />So, how big a class can you conduct? I'm thinking a two day gig. You willing to spend a night in the swamp?Alan W. Mullenaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13084509138950656937noreply@blogger.com
