I'm sure we've all read this artical. I just put it on digg. Hopefully it can become more mainstream thought -- and potentially (if their are New HAmpshirites on digg) help the cause of the Liberty Scholarship fund.)

(If this is the wrong place to put this, move it to general Kat.)

It got burried.

Somehow it got enough diggs to get promoted while still buried. But it never actually showed up on the front page. (It still shows up in the RSS feed though.)

It climed 20 diggs even while buried. That's pretty good I guess. Next time I submit an anti-government school artical, I'll try to do it when you guys are more aware of it so it can get promoted before burial instead of after.

Not sure how to go about that though.

Gatto is brilliant.

There are several editorials in the WSJ today, following publication of a similar article, about this entire generation's families essentially neglecting their children by stuffing them in daycares and schools and being too tired to pay attention to them after work. They also mention how children of these families suffer minimal intergenerational integration and are statistically more likely to adopt risky activities such as drug use, according to studies.

We should write some similar LTEs to New Hampshire newspapers in support of the LSF.

Cool. Ever considered adspace on FTL? I'm going for a slot myself for this next round, and normally I wouldn't draw attention to it, but I care about this enough to invite some extra risk to myself if it helps out this project!

What's this "digg" thing all about, Tracy?

Kinda like slashdot. You can post news items and get them voted up so they appear on the front page, or buried so they disappear.

Digg is like the 38th most view website according to Alexa nowdays. And it's climbing.

Caleb got hundreads of e-mails from people who saw our secession platform by my posting it and it getting promoted to the front page.

You should get an account. Ad me as a friend. And then check the stuff I post and the stuff that my friends post everyday. We need libertarians on these mainstream newssites so that people are aware that their are more then socialists reading them.

My submited articals. is linked in my signiture. The only thing is -- they need to get enough diggs to get promoted with-in 24 hours afater an artical gets posted, or it can't get promtoed and basically ends up in never never land.

These are some of the articles I posted that got promoted to the home page. several about real ID. 1 about NH Secession. Ian had a couple articals about Russel that got promoted at Hammer of Truth.

It eally is a good way to help promote the free tate project to the world that things are happening here.

And it's SOOOO much easier to use then Slashdot.

Edit1- BTW, I did join it. I think it would be better if it were more covert though. I think the reason our posts were getting buried so quickly was because some of those against us were buring them as soon as they were posted to the list.



Edit2- Figured it out

In regards to covertness, get in touch with Johnson at freetalklive.com , as he is in charge.  This is his baby.
