Survey of Friends of Objectivism In the Southeast

One of the main purposes of NSO is to promote the ideas of Ayn Rand in the Southeast, and we are aware that there are many friends of Objectivism throughout our area who do not have ready access to a local study group.

In order to assist the spread of interest in Ayn Rands to new areas, we have set up threads in our discussion group for each of the states in the Southeast. If you are interested in making contact with other like-minded friends of Objectivism, please post your contact information and we'll do what we can to put people in the same area in touch with one another. If you have an existing group or web site, please post information about it here, and we'll add it to our "Friends of Objectivism in the Southeast" section of this blog to your right. We also have a page set up to post information for each of the following states: Alabama, Georgia, Florida, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia.

(For a similar method of meeting friends of Objectivism in your area, you may wish to consider Meetup.com, which we and several other Objectivist groups also use.)

Of course, as always, the ultimate clearinghouse of information about all things Ayn Rand is the Ayn Rand Institute.

I found this sign posted in front of my local elementary school in Greenville. To top it off, the sign in the background says: "Welcome to Lake Forest Elementary - A Community of Nations."

Welcome to the New Blog

Posted below are two of the posts from the old blog just to begin to show how this can be set up. We'll keep up the main page (at www.newsouthobjectivists.org) but post a link there to the new blog.

The features of blogspot allow the use of all the "gadget" organization features and subscription features that most blogs on the internet use.

We should probably send out a mass email to those on the NSO list about the new blog, and suggest that they subscribe using the RSS feed and other subscription methods.

We also need to point out that this has comments and we'll need to monitor them.

We should also eventually delete this message.
