Tragedy of the Commons: a poem

If you have not learned

to use our resources

responsibly--

if you exploit, steal, take advantage--

maybe you do not deserve

to use them at all.

Like a child

who has abused his toys;

they must be

taken away.

 Our common spaces,

Ocean, Land, Air,

we share.

 The Ocean is for everyone:

take only the fish

that you need,

and be mindful

of what you dump into it.

 The Land is for everyone:

leave the trees, they help us,

and you only require

so much space.

 The Air is for everyone:

use cars sparingly

to reduce your carbon footprint,

and be mindful

of what you pump into it.

 Respect these commons

which we all share.

Use our resources responsibly,

or soon,

they will be gone.

Why We Can’t Have Nice Things

When I was in college, I had a fairly peculiar sociology professor (as I am sure most sociology professors are). His name was Marty, he wore old man sweaters, and he texted people on his flip phone…

New Article: Why We Can’t Have Nice Things

[explore-chat]

“In the House of Commons, where an atmosphere of mutual support and education would enable our MPs to do their job better, it’s unfortunate that a collegial willingness by a veteran to help a freshman is so rare. Would it be posible for the experienced MPs to institute a regular, more substantive orientation for newly elected MPs? [...] The cursory nature of the orientation process for MPs is a clear indication that they are undervalued and that political leaders regard them as little more than votes. That their veteran colleagues don’t want to help them do their jobs—and that their own parties don’t seem to care whether they are able to represent their constituents effectively or hold government to account—may be the starkest possible indication of the failure of our party politics, and of the troubled future of our democracy.”

Tragedy of the Commons

Ruin is the destination toward which all men rush, each pursuing his own best interest (in a society that believes in the freedom of the commons)
