While listening to a lecture from Dr. Craig Just, University of Iowa, Engineering, he had a fantastic analogy for the Tragedy of the Commons.
To illustrate the economic concept that a common resource will be consumed until its marginal utility is zero, Dr. Just said, "just think of an outhouse at a concert." I thought this was outstanding. By the end of the concert no one wants to use the resource for a variety of reasons.
