Halloween: Effective and effortless outreach opportunity

[OferNave]

On Halloween night, I plan to sit by the door, reading. When the doorbell rings, I will open it, give some candy to the children... and give two documentaries to the parents.

The two I've chosen are The Money Masters and America: Freedom to Fascism. You can choose whichever documentaries you want, of course - whatever you think is best to get the word out.

I'm burning copies myself. I've bought 100 count boxes of blank DVDs and paper sleeves from Stables. Between the DVD and the paper sleeve, each documentary will cost me 40 cents. Since I'm giving away a pair of documentaries to each adult, that's 80 cents for each adult. I burn copies in the background while I'm web surfing, so it doesn't take any additional time out of my schedule. After a few evenings I had a nice stack of 50 of each documentary burned, labeled (with a Sharpie marker), and ready to give out.

For labeling, I wrote the name of the documentary at the top of the disc, then (DVD) underneath it to make it clear that you can play it in a dvd player, and finally, "Pass it on!" at the bottom to encourage the disc to continue propogating.

I hope you consider doing the same. Thanks!

How do you do that when they are copywrited? Griffin says money masters is controlled opposition...he has a list of them ..that's on the list. tones

Great idea!

I wish I lived in a neighborhood where kids trick-or-treated! I'd give them pocket Constitutions.

Well, first of all, I don't care about copyright. I don't agree with intellectual property.

Second, there are many great documentaries who's producers would rather have the information shared than not. If you believe in the fantasy of intellectual property and want to respect the producer's wishes, feel free to poke around and determine which ones have "please give away" status.

Third, I agree with Griffin about disagreeing with the conclusion of Money Masters. The narrator presents the Milton Friedman Chicago-school solution of fiat money, just controlled by Congress instead of the Fed. I, like Griffin, agree with the Austrian school of complete separation of Bank and State.

However, the first three hours contains the most accurate and comprehensive history of money and banking I have found anywhere. So it's still useful. If you only use documentaries you agree with 100%, you'll have none left to use.

So if I don't agree with laws regarding theft, then should I be like you and just fucking steal whatever catches my fancy?

I'm not going to argue intellectual property with you. Off topic. You don't have to do this if you don't like, or as I said, you can restrict yourself to documentaries that the creator has given permission to give away.

You're an unrepentant thief. You've got nothing to argue about. FOAD.

No, because then you'd actually be harming somebody. Thats the difference.

If you produce widgets for a living and I produce original ideas set in fixed form for a living, and I steal your widgets and you steal my ideas, how is it that you are hurt and I am not?

Intellectual property is contrary to a free market.

A fallacious appeal to authority.

Great counterpoint. Dunno how to respond to your well-formed and carefully considered argument.
