Dear Friends:


Because we all need a good laugh these days, plus snickers and guffaws, I am
forwarding you the April Fools Edition of the On The Commons newsletter.


The rest of the year we do more serious reporting about the key issues and
opportunities of our time.  You can sign up for the newsletter at
www.OnTheCommons.org.


Happy April Fools,  Jay Walljasper
