    Its not a slogan?  you must not have watched tv, seen an advertisement, been in a big box store, or had your eyes open for the past 5 ish years.  Green means about as much as the word natural.  Its a man made construct, so i guess you were right by calling it scientific.  It is just the latest buzz word in the sustainability family.  Make your poster the colour green, use papyrus and there you have it: your are now “green”  Oh and of course, use prairie!

    hee! I like that, Heather..It’s only once a month or so, I really like to rant pointlessly at on-line imaginary foes…Better than taking it out on my dog..

    no ranting today, going to a Clarence Thomas fundraiser! there will be enough racist rants and comedians in black face for everyone!

    Energy companies are externalizing the true cost of extraction of petro, natural gas, and coal. I agree we will probably need an energy policy with a mix of sustainable and traditional. But in the end conservation is by far the best thing we can do. I believe carbon trading will be apart of the future, which will incentivize efficiency and localization of supply chain management. Consulting companies like McKinsey, Deloitte, and KPMP are all starting sustainable or green consulting units, so they multinationals are betting on this as well. There will be a green economy. Trace one is correct the true price of gas in america is heavily distorted. There will eventually be Pigovian taxes to correct these distortions.

    No, its a branding.  It has been perverted to the point where i have seen SUV’s who get 2 mpg more than their predecessors being advertised as the green option… right.  so now that boat gets 22mpg highway, I should feel good about myself for making such a huge difference.

    It’s rather hard to see ANY private vehicle — no matter the fuel — as “green” UNLESS it’s a color

    What “few things” has Obama done right, Roland? Lets see the so-called changes we can believe in: Extended the Bush tax cuts for the ultra rich, Gitmo is alive and well, the mid-east wars continue, Wall Street never got any reform, and he behaved like Bush by getting into the Libya mix. Now we are on the verge of spending millions of $$ on the war front. Congress is voting on it soon.

    What’s with this country? The love for Guns, violence and wars! Maybe if we didn’t have so many military bases sprawled across the world, there would be less national security interest and threats.

    The sole reason for my vote for Obama is because I REALLY did think he would end the wars. Fooled me once, can’t fool me twice.

    The hopers make fun of the prayers and the prayers make fun of the hopers. They are in fact the same thing.

     

     They are what you do in order to solidly believe in an outcome without thinking.

     

    You can hope. You can pray.  … or you can think.    Who is doing the latter?

    Anyone doing the latter is probably cynical like me.

    Democrats: Hope we’ll do the right thing.
    Republicans: Pray we’ll do the right thing.
    Thinkers:  Know that neither will.

    Unrelated thought for this morning:  Espresso is one of man’s great discoveries, it is joined with fire, the wheel, bread and vacuum tubes for guitar amps.

    I must agree about the vaccum tubes….give me a blackface deluxe reverb any time over anything made since the mid 60’s…..
