January 15th seminar in Tacoma

[Rizzotherat]

Thank you Mr. Stevens for the informative and entertaining seminar on Saturday. It was nice to meet you in person. It was worth the money I spent to travel and the cost of entrance. Your wife is lovely and it was nice to meet her also..

As you know there were a handful of "patriot" types there, and I could tell they were somewhat taken back that you were not one of them. It was so very refreshing to hear you promote libertarianism. There was one man sitting in the back close to the camera that seemed offended, he left in a huff towards the end. He was a so called "patriot" and I don't think he liked when you so rationally and tactfully dispelled the "gold fringe on the flag" question and also I don't think it liked when you said: "You're free when you decide here (pointing to your head) that you want to be". Then you said something to the affect: "Your physical body can be caged, but not your attitude". Great stuff and great furthering of the libertarian standpoint.

LIBERTARIAN: YES! "patriot": NO NO NO (dangerous stuff)

Hmm you would think that the "Patriot" types would feel empowered instead of threatened. I mean if I'm walking around with a blindfold on and someone comes up and removes it, I'm inclined to be grateful. I wonder what their beef was.

Any idea Riz? Were they "Paytriots" by any chance? Maybe Marc is taking a bite out of their profits.

Can you remember the question about the Gold Fringe flag? Just curious what it was and what Marc said.

I agree that you would think the "patriot" types would feel empowered, possibly some did. Hopefully they had a change of heart and dropped the "patriot" nonsense. Hopefully they can see how corrupt and dangerous their previous views are. But, some people are very attached to their opinions, including "patriot" views. At any rate, it was very clear that Mr. Stevens is NOT a "patriot" and does not entertain that kind of nonsense for even a second.

Mr Stevens answered the question about the "gold fringe" like he does any "patriot" issue. He said something to the effect: "Does the gold fringe keep them from using their guns?" "Having it or not does not change the way they proceed against you" "The gold fringe is meaningless".

Thanks Riz. I had a great time and am looking forward to seeing you and everyone else again in the fall.

Someone made a comment about the fringe on the flags in court. All I did was look at the facts. A group of men and women doing business at the barrel of a gun pretending to administer justice fairly. Does the flag, fringed or not, change the manner in which these men and women do business? No. Then it is irrelevant.

The same applies to the lawyer wearing the robe. Is the robe relevant? Only if it changes the manner in which he does business. If taking the robe off makes him deal with me in a voluntary manner, then by all means, get him to take that thing off. ;D

And, yes, my wife is lovely - stay away from her Riz.

Approximately when do you anticipate having the seminar available as a DVD?

Any plans for any other books?

Any other forms of media you're thinking of using you want to let us all know about now -- unless it's better not to say (then don't), to keep Agent Smith in the dark.
