INTERNET: Terra Libra is an organisation promoting the maximisation of personal freedom under the law. I urge all cryonicists to support Terra Libra because they can use it to promote cryonics to a very suitable self selected group. Terra Libra is growing very fast, from a $250 business a year ago (April 1993) to now (August 1994) when it is grossing its founder $20,000/month. As it is payline multi level, its members collectively are also grossing $20,000/month! (see comment on multi-level at end) If you want to promote cryonics in your local area, and who doesn't, then promoting Terra Libra (instead or as well as your cryonics organisation if you are rich and patient) is a worthwhile exercise. You are going to collect far more Terra Librans and get paid for the privilege. From these you can collect cryonicists. Terra Libra News is the monthly newspaper of Terra Libra. It contains a regular column promoting cryonics to individualists. If you can sell people Terra Libra News you are exposing them to relentless cryonic information, which should, over the years, cause many of them to join a cryonics organisation. Remember these will be people who already are into personal freedom, and what is more against personal freedom than suffering and death? Please e-mail me if you would like a Terra Libra leaflet, including sign-up information. It will be sent without obligation, of course. Comments on Multi-level I appreciate that some people may have ethical worries about multilevel schemes. However, compare them to organisations or individuals that are just asking from money, either as fees, payments, or donations. At least ML schemes offer the chance of making rather than giving or spending money. What is unethical is pretending to people that making money is easy with a particular scheme, especially by hiding the true costs. In the case of Terra Libra, if you put all the money you make back into promoting it further you are not making a "filthy capitalist profit" but are using the opportunity given to you to promote the objectives of the organisation. The costs involved with an ML scheme are the costs of getting publicity. These are very much more than the sum paid to get into the scheme in the first place, and many schemes gloss over this fact. It is best to try and add your promotion of Terra Libra to an existing business, rather than do it in isolation. Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=2965
