caseopaya's birthday today. Gave her a "home made" ticket which provides the bearer an all-expenses paid holiday to Yogyakarta, Bali and Komodo Island within the next 90 days. You might think I like her or something. Naturally enough, I'm going as well. In a completely different direction, in the very near future I am heading off to Dunedin for a few days to investigate purchasing some of the fine old buildings they have down there. Will need to set up a ANZ bank account in NZ etc.
Handed in the first draft of a new book for Iron Crown Enterprises. As it has already been announced by the system editor, I'm giving away no secrets by saying it's Rolemaster Cryadon, basically a synthesis of the HARP Cryadon book and Rolemaster Express. RPG Review is late as a result, but will be sent out within the next twenty-four hours.
The Australian Senate is seeking public comment on climate policy. I have made a (too) brief submission. Inspired byangel80's words on the recent spat between the Minister and the Department of Defense, I wrote to the former that he abolish his own department (and why not?). On Sunday attended the Unitarian service; guest speaker was John Stone from the Australasian Centre for the Governance & Management of Urban Transport (GAMUT) at Melbourne University. Now on the organising committe for a public forum on the subject; will be arguing for "free and public" mass transit.

Thanks, fixed now.
He was addressing the issue of fundamentally unmanaged resources being exploited by multiple parties
Yes, that's right. Indeed he did say if he had the opportunity to rewrite the essay it would be called 'the tragedy of the unmanaged commons'.
The point I was illustrating is that the private resources remain managed and other (generated within the private resource area) costs are pushed out in the public. So we keep our cars nice and clean and the atmosphere ends up dirty.
I agree with on a direct tax on carbon as well, insofar that any use has some economic cost.
