[low preference guy]

[Cowlesy]

Great video team YAL!

[BuddyRey]

So how do we saturate the entirely of the internets with this thing?

If anyone can, it's this group!!!!

[Epic]

a bit too preachy about the somewhat esoteric economics textbooks (like "human action"... although I do own it). Good video overall though.

It doesn't embed properly on Facebook -- just gives a "www.youtube.com" link you have to click on to watch. :(

i love the purpose and spirit behind this video, but I do have a problem with it. YAL wants to reach as many youth as possible in this country, why then are 90% of the people in this video honkies? The makers of this short probably weren't even thinking about that, I know. And honestly it shouldn't be an issue. Unfortunately, it is an issue. It's this same reason why the makers of "The Matrix" trilogy chose a cast that was predominately non-white. If you want the message to get out you've got to think this way. As a white person I know from experience that the vast majority of white people don't think ecumenically. We are just used to seeing white people. We've got to make an effort to get beyond are imperceptible comfort zone. Otherwise Liberty doesn't have a chance.

really good effort on the video.

[Matthew Zak]

That was cheesy. Is that going to appeal to anybody not already appealed? Even though it's a great video, seems like it's target audience is those already in the movement. Never a bad time to be inspired, I suppose. :)

bump!!! ;)

[BuddyRey]

It's building up quite a head of steam, but still not enough!

[Austin]

Bump for the day crew.

[dr. hfn]

Post it on your Facebook wall. Rate it, comment it, share it.

We should get a downloadable copy so we can upload it to Facebook and tag our friends in it. That would lead to massive amounts of viewing.

[risk_reward]

This video is not new. I saw it when RP was in Minneapolis in September.

[nobody's_hero]

This video is not new. I saw it when RP was in Minneapolis in September.

It's new as far as a stand-alone version goes. The only clip I've ever seen was video footage of video footage, taken at the event. (In other words, silhouettes standing up in front of the camera, people talking in the background.)

It's about time YAL released the video itself.

[BuddyRey]

Woohoo! Now it's taking off!

[Dieseler]

Bump.
I remember asking where I could get a copy of it when it first launched.
You know what I miss in it though?
The applause from that audience.
I would love to see it done again, in the same setting as the first but better quality so as to include that audience's response.

This video is not new. I saw it when RP was in Minneapolis in September.

This is the first online release of the video. The video was set to private prior to a few seconds before I made this post.

:D

[QueenB4Liberty]

:D I Liked it!

[idirtify]

Personally, I like it. I think it does all these things:
1. it gives the movement big-time mainstream legitimacy
2. it advertises itself as attractive and makes you want to join
3. it puts a wholesome image on anti-government philosophy (makes ideas which are normally disagreeable to many quite agreeable)
4. it mixes “revolution” with smiles and hope
5. it provides a whole new paradigm for “goodism”
6. it provides just enough exotic pledges to be cool (and educational)
7. it’s a good mix, appealing to both sheep and individuals.
