Sorry for the confusion.  You need to double-click that to extract the MP3 files.

I have added the necessary instructions to http://book.FreeKeene.com - can someone take a look at them and tell me if it's too confusing?

Okay, the magic worked. My mistake was in trying to transfer it in the same way I do all other podcasts.

Sounds pretty good, Ian.

Nifty! Am downloading for Mr. Joy - should be great listening for his trip to NH later this week.

Hey Ian, you need to host the audiobook that Kenneth made.  It is FAR superior in that format.

How much in AMP dollars would it cost for you to decide to host it?

Give us an AMP goal and we'll go for it.

Good stuff. I like Ian's inflection, years in radio served him well. Better than at times monotonous Librivox recording


Hey wait, try getting hosted at Librivox.

Amazing book. I wish I could convince my friends with this book, but it seems to be aimed at small government Libertarians. Is there any resources like this that I can use to convince my friends to be Libertarians first?

What's that book called that Ian and Mark always talks about?  Some lady wrote it... Healing Our World?

One thing I noticed about this book is that whenever it is talking about people, it always says "Men/Man". Women will/would be a part of the free market too :P. A new edition of the book would want to change that.

That's because man/men is the gender neutral way to address the human species.

Women can't be part of the free market, because they don't have souls.

Of course. HuMAN refers to both man and to woman.

As a writer, I've fought with this gender-neutral crap for years. Just about every contrivance ends up sounding awkward or, worse, silly. Just how far with this nonsense are we expected to go? Is perSON okay? Or, should it be perdaughter, as somehow more fair? Maybe the best option would be perpeople.

Give us the free market anyway, we'll fake it. You'll never notice.

When not speaking about any particular man or woman but a hypothetical one, I generally just alternate.  The person I'm talking about becomes a "he" or "she" arbitrarily, but of course does not switch genders as I continue to talk about him/her.  Seems a good solution.

It seems like a good solution, and I sometimes do it. However, in fiction it comes across jarring, and I have had readers complain that it breaks the flow. I've also had editors flag me on it.

In college, I once got a lower grade on a paper for not  doing it.  It didn't sour me on the practice, though-- I like for the imaginary person I'm thinking about to sometimes be a she.  However, it may be a completely different story for non-fiction as for fiction.  Sounds like that's the case, from what you say.
