Green Politics 5 Years, 1 Month ago

Karma: 1

I posted a link to a New York Times Column by Tom Freidman in the news story on the front page "Green Politics is in our interest too".
I personally think that the uber-Activist type Left Wing Political Bias which is prevalent amongst some West Coast Pagan groups leaves me cold and I firmly believe we have the ill fated Green Party candidacy of Ralph Nader to thank for the last six years of NeoCon dominance of the Fedearl Government.

I personally think that the Green movement will always be a fringe movement if it stays the "property" of the far left wing of the political spectrum. As a proud Libertarian I found Tom Friedmans thesis in this column gave me hope that sane environmental policy could be given new life by making common sense arguments to the business leaders of our culture. Think what you will about this notion, we in America live in a capitalist society and the reality is that if something important needs to be done you can count on two things.
One is that the government is only capable of fucking it up, and two is that if change is going to occur it will be business that makes it happen.

Feel free to argue with me about this, but its what I believe.
There are no sacred cows here. Call me names - prove me wrong if you can.
