DESCRIPTION:Reginald Priapus, one-time real estate vampire investment guru turned 
 Benedict Arnold to his fellow share-cropping class of wealthy real estate 
 magnates, is the guest speaker and sponsor of this evening's odd-man out 
 rent money giveaway.\n\nPriapus will give to one attendee $20 for each 
 participant who completes the evening's "Primer in how to Fix the Real 
 Estate Crisis." The program lasts an hour and 45 minutes. The money--up to 
 $500--will be given away by 9 pm. Attendance is free of any charge or 
 obligation.\n\nHere's the deal. Priapus made seven million dollars in 
 profits in the real estate world before he encountered the writings of 
 Henry George. Since that "road to Damascus" experience, Priapus has come 
 clean on the socially endorsed scam which deprives schools of funding, 
 obliges taxes on work, and leads housing rights advocates into fjordalism 
 (following long, dead-end, but scenic routes to nordic socialism 
 obsession).\n\nToday, Priapus tours the nation retelling the tale of 21st 
 century share-cropping, which parallels the vicious share-cropping system 
 of the south, 1865-1940. Share-cropping, simply put, is the ownership of 
 nature by a subset of the whole population, and the rest of the population 
 paying a share of the wealth produced for mere access to nature. The system 
 reduced to peony much of the Black South, and it neatly describes the Bay 
 Area today, where the real estate is owned by few and the great majority of 
 the population pays for mere access to the land beneath all the people and 
 stuff called San Francisco, Palo Alto, San Jose, Oakland, Berkeley, 
 etc.\n\nPriapus will describe in detail the means by which he became (and 
 you can become) rich. He will also describe the method by which we can all 
 be set free. The twist to this evening's program is that the $20 for each 
 person attending, single recipient giveaway, is that it echoes the scam. 
 Many contribute (in this case they contribute their time), but only one 
 benefits financially. Will the recipient "split the dough" with fellow 
 participants or "split with the bag" all for 
 himself?\n\n\n\n\nhttp://www.TheCommonsSF.org\n\n
