Be wise, and GET THIS ON EVERY email list you have participation in and access to. Ask folks who use online favorites bookmarks to get it “bookmarked” in Delicious and Digg and Riddit and Magnolia and Stumbleupon.

Whoever did this… get a great single snapshot still and then have a GREAT voice read everything… professional darth vader — preferrably someone who has acted… against the music backdrop and get it onto all the podcast directories people have access to and can set up. They are all over and work like youtube — you’ve also just created a lead-in tract. Someone needs to make that file available NOT PUBLIC VIA THIS BLOG, and we’ll start uploading.

We need another set of search tags. We’re not identifying with those to be reached. WHO are you directing this to?

BOB: “it’s for the children” so please write the (some) words that will get this thing and its topic into other arenas… which arenas are HOT to start making a difference?

As you set this up use MUCH MORE employing the tactic of RIDDLES. Get them solving a real riddle up front. Then lead them to a place they can GET THE ANSWER. Make it a HUGE MAGNET. Then satisfy what you have stirred up in them.

DAVE: You will shine here.

Hey Mark,

The problem is that the people who take the swords at Yorktown shouldn’t. The war is won by the guerillas, and the ones who win it are the leaders. Give credit where credit is due or face trouble later.

——————————————————————————–

If the enemy was the British, it may make sense to send those who have been working closely with them “to take the swords.” But that says wrongly that these people — and not the guerillas — won the war.

Before American independence, the group that became the Hamiltonians were half-Tories. They were half-respectable and did not fully support independence until late in the game. They had some connections and they were able to bring ideas of independence past the radicals into the mainstream.

But if they were not full revolutionaries before the war, they were not full revolutionaries after it either.

They had other intentions.

The Jeffersonians were the real revolutionaries, and acknowledged as the true guerillas, they held power in the old republic for the next 80 years.

The Hamiltonians were the aides-de-camp, the people who occupied the “IMPORTANT” POSITIONS during the war. The “swords of battle” were surrendered to them and so they were treated with respect for those same 80 years.

Until their other intentions hatched in 1861.
