Preference Ordering The Freedom Umbrella of Direct Action
By: Shane Radliff
July 19th, 2016
Preface
With the release of the The Freedom Umbrella of Direct Action’s third edition, it was decided that we concomitantly release our own individual judgments of what we thought was most efficacious, what was least plausible, and what encompassed shades of grey. We present, for your delectation, our preference ordering of the FUDA, according to what each of us subjectively valued. Consider preference ordering the FUDA’s third edition yourselves, and be sure to let us know what your preferences are, as well as any personal experience you have using any of these methods by contacting Shane.
