Here's my unfinished blog post, dated July 18, 2008. (See below post for details.) This just shows you the commitment of this blogger. I wrote a simple complete sentence, apparently copied and pasted from a web site somewhere and got distracted by a bright shiny object.

I really like Bean's suggestion to copy from the BerkShares program

Everyone benefits from using BerkShares. Consumers benefit from receving a 10% discount on purchases. Businesses benefit from increased patronage. Local non-profit organizations can also benefit by purchasing BerkShares at the 10% discount rate and selling them at full face value to their supporters.

It will take citizens working in their own communities, region by region, to create the kind of systemic change that will lead to sustainable economic practices—practices that foster ecologically responsible production of goods and a more equitable distribution of wealth. Local currencies are a tool to bring about such change. BerkShares are about building community while building the local economy.
