The idea of the “Commons” is central to the concept of the open sharing of information and ideas. It’s a concept that forms the core of the Creative Commons movement and progressive movements in education. Well I ran into this idea again unexpectedly today… My husband was printing off his readings for his Natural Resource Management graduate course today and out of the printer came “The Tragedy of the Commons”… I was so surprised to see it! And of course, how presumptuous I’d been… this concept is most readily connected to the management of natural resources. For heaven’s sake, the example they always use is about over-grazing by shepherds who feel no sense of responsibility to protect the “common ground”.

Comment by TJ Sims October 29, 2008 @ 2:33 pmI found your website because I’m on a desperate search for an episode of Star Trek The Next Generation for a gift for my husband for our 3rd Anniversary. You happened to mention the quote in one of your blogs but did not tell the episode name(Geordi La Forge was kidnapped by smallish round people who looked like weeble-woobles. They took him because, in their own words, “You’re smart. You make things go.”)if you know it could you please Please PLEASE send it to me – I would greatly appreciate it!! Thanks much TJ
I’m sorry TJ, I don’t remember the episode name… good luck on your search!
