This is a general observation. The whole "green" thing has come from changes in people's perceptions (about the world). But there has been little certainty or measurability by which to validate the feelings that result from the change. Is it good to care about ecology? Yes. So work on something that's within reach to correct. Noise pollution anyone? How about corrupt influences?

If good comes out of the whole "green" misunderstanding it would be that some of it's strictest, pantheist-left adherents acknowledge the error of their way, and realize the enemy isn't CO2. The real common enemy is the unethical, immoral, self-serving power structures (fueled by activist money) which tend to co-opt any idea that they can make to serve their agenda. -T. Smithers

Thanks for writing this, Donal. Most players in the energy-god competition apparently accept the assumption that economic health hinges on ever-increasing growth in consumption -- more homes and cars for ever-growing populations of people. It's a tragically flawed energy-sucking argument that will leave us all bereft on a dying planet without the resources to survive.

Great article Don on the Green Theme. Seems the hipsters (hippies) had a way of swaying public opinion to such a degree that things actually got done. Might of been the greatest periods of activism and solidarity in American history. Must of scared the hell out of the Status Quo judging by how hard they bit back. With the shape of this country at this point in time guess they've been doing a lot of filing to keep those teeth so sharp. What is needed is another counterculture, or should I say anti-establishment movement much like the sixties to knock some of those teeth out, or a least dull them down. Such a shame the reversals and twisting that's been done by vested interests on may of the progressive fronts of those days. Hope the kids understand and are able to take action without letting their anger cloud their judgement. We can win back the country but it's going to take a miracle of solidarity.
