AiLL on CD!

[lazerwood]

I've had a bit of success at the workplace getting folk to think about AiLL/freedom issues...(normally a difficult thing to do). I've been "burning" audio CD's with my favorite AiLL interviews of Marc on them and passing them out to friends at work. Normally, I have conversations at break-time with friends and bring up AiLL/freedom type topics. If the person seems interested, I just so "happen" to have on hand an audio CD that they can listen to on the way to or from work as they are traveling. I always suggest that they use the time in their car to listen while they are traveling to and from work, (so they don't use the excuse of having no time at home to listen because they are too "busy"). ;-)

I have had a number of favorable comments from my friends about the CD's, and they have told others about them. I've told them to pass them around, and I'll give them more. The good thing about this "method" of promoting AiLL/freedom issues is that CD's are dirt cheap to buy and burn now...also most cars have CD players now from the factory. The interviews give the info about ordering the book should the person care to follow through.

What is very encouraging is the response from the younger workers about the CD's. They seem to really "get it"! I tell them before they listen to the Cd's, not to let their mind get "bogged down" with legal details but listen to the concepts that are being brought forth by Marc. After they listen to the CD's, I always "follow-up" with comments that steer their minds to those concepts to make sure they understand.

I'm writing this to the "group" just to share a "method" that seems to be a "painless" way of getting folk to at least think about freedom issues. You never know what can good can result from just a little bit of "seeding"!

That's great news. Can you mail me a copy of one to Marc's P.O. address c/o Neo? If so, I'll be sure to listen to it and follow suit. Marc and I have discussed making copies of this or that on CD and leaving them in different places. I felt it was a bad idea to leave them in any place that is the turf of an agent, like inside "gov't" buildings. Everywhere else (99% of the world) seems a fair place.

yup. I started burning the minute Marc put all of them up.

Lazer, which shows have you noticed have the most feedback?

What concepts are most frequently brought forth by the young guns
after they have listened to the CD?

Neo,

I think it's a GREAT idea to "plant seeds" by leaving CD's in restaurants, or other public places. As you mentioned, none in "agent places". You never know what sort of stupid "terrorist" thing they would attempt to construe from that action I'll get you a CD copy, send it to Marc as you stated.

Weis,

The topics that really grab the attention of the kids is:

Are there citizens?...duty to protect?...what is the "STATE"...is there a state? Another big one is why the violence in providing their "service"?

My aim is to make them THINK out of the "box" their mind has been placed in...to ask QUESTIONS why something is so!! It's great to see the "light bulbs" flash when they actually THINK about these concepts for the first time!!

Never make it over thirty...Logan's Run. Seriously what Lazerwood suggests is a great way to diseminate the AILL concepts and might bring a few of the curious ones to this site and join the forum.

Now why on earth would you want to do that?
