charles — those are countries, not people… and they’re trying to claim sea, not land.

Real people are trying to claim the land.

Even harder to sell advertising until you have a few issues out there with a demonstrated market.

Like I said, the only obstacles are financial. Pretty similar to political parties really.

Better to make them free like MX and include advertising space.

Sukrit, the only obstacles are financial. It will be difficult to sell subscriptions until a few issues are available.

John, this regular blog round-up is a good idea. However, no movement can progress unless there’s a print publication. Not everyone is an Internet geek.

I want to investigate the prospects for having a quarterly libertarian publication, titled “The Libertarian Review”. It would charge a low subscription fee (just enough to cover the printing & postage), and feature well-developed articles exploring libertarian political strategy, theory, news, economics or whatever.

Are there any legal obstacles to this idea?

Or can someone just use Microsoft Publisher to set up a 4 page double-sided newsletter and send it out to people?
