Well, our local paper published my letter: ON ITS WEBSITE !?! It appeared there within 24 hours of my submitting it. It wasn't in the paper the next day, or the next, or the next. There is still an outside chance it will appear sometime next week, but that seems unlikely. It appears that it wasn't deemed hard-copy print-worthy. This from a newspaper that still publishes the results of the card games at the local community halls, and has no qualms about regularly printing the incoherent rantings of our local Bible literalist.
Now obviously I think Ikanocracy is a good idea, and at least worthy of inclusion in any discussion about reforming a dysfunctional political system. I figured that I would just start a blog, post my paper, comment on the improvements Ikanocracy offers, and that the whole thing would go viral. That hasn't happened.
Part of the problem might be that, while I want to get the ideas of Ikanocracy into the public eye, I have no desire for personal fame or recognition and prefer to stay in the background. However, I may need a more aggressive PR strategy. Any suggestions?
