Hi Frank, Steve and Mitch
How about an article on the "Common Good Awareness Project" Maybe angled on 
the opportunity to reinvigorate the social,cultural and political scene, 
using something that is unique to Scotland - the Common Good Fund.

A commonality with shared assets which has a legal concept that matches its 
historical development. An organising tool (even without the assets) that 
could help to invigorate our atomised communities through a sense of common 
ownership and could help to point towards more feasible, democratic, 
economic models and value systems than the ones that are presently 
consuming us "all".

The Common Good is a tradition of the Scottish commons that is 500 years 
old - that mirrors the Scottish Enlightenment in forward thinking with its 
roots in a collectivist approach to well-being of ordinary folk -

The fate of this half millennium of history with its valuable public owned 
assets, is now mainly in the hands of councilors who believe their robes of 
office and victories in 4 year power struggles, gives them the right to 
squander 500 years of history and the public estate? Ch Bob
