[free-sklyarov] Slogan/Propaganda

I'd have to think about it, plus I'm at work right now, and I probably 
couldn't execute an idea as well as might be desired, with my graphics 
software and abilities.  I will try this evening and weekend, but I would 
have to stress that my input will have to be in the spirit of 
brainstorming.  You'd have to let me and anybody who also gets triggered 
to comment or offer suggestions, be stupid, basically, until a good idea 
was come up with.  Or find someone with a natural talent for this.

Ask around, though, until I can see what I come up with.  Anybody have 
any ideas?
