Hi All,

How about a flyer containing a *brief* intro to Objectivism (based on the famous 'one foot' summary) & a SOLO logo & URL. It'd be 1/4 A4 size, so as to be easy to read, easy to print & easy to distribute.

Then, we print a bunch (even cheapo black & white would do), and ... wait for it ... do a leaflet drop. That's right - take a bag of the things, walk down the street, & drop one in each letterbox without a 'no circulars' notice. Try to get it on as many peoples radar as possible. IMO, a cultural revolution should work from *both* ends of the spectrum - top down, & bottom up.

How many people here would be interested in assisting with such an endeavour? You'd be spreading objectivism, advertising SOLO, getting exercise and (at least in my case) walking the dog - all in one low-stress workout :-)

I've hacked up a quick & dirty draft (I stress, *draft*, please don't go distributing it or this link) of such a flyer at:

FWIW, I actually got the idea from seeing a church flyer in my own letterbox.

Yours,
Duncan Bayne

I think it's a decent idea.  I love those little church comic books that wind up on the driveway or in the mailbox about the guy going to hell.  They're so funny.  What we need is someone who's artistically inclined to do a pro-objectivist church-spoof comic.  If it was funny, people might be more willing to read and respond to the message.

Yep, it is a good idea.

Everyone makes as many copies as they want to or can afford to and then they go for a little walk :-) Fit, disseminating objectivists! FDOs.

Don't know about making it toooo funny, though. It's gotta appeal but it can't be too staid or goofy.

I'm thinking...
