If you want try to gain some insight into the thought processes of the Left, the first thing you should do is go to your local middle schools and high schools and observe the behavior you see there. Young people, especially teens and pre-teens are highly motivated by how they appear to others, and this is the same for the Left. Ideally, as people mature they become less concerned with show and more concerned with substance. In the case of far left liberals, however, this maturing process never occurs, and the ‘green’ fad is perfect proof of this.
As a woman who loves decorating magazines I have long been disgusted by the ‘green’ movement, not because I don’t care about the environment but because of the ridiculous farce that it is. Here’s a typical article: Hollywood couple buys an older home in a canyon near L.A. and embarks on a ‘green’ renovation. They tear down most of the 4,000 square foot existing home in order to increase its size to a more ‘livable’ 8,000 square feet. They take two years to redo every surface in the home with the help of a multitude of workmen using loads of energy; they buy all new furniture and appliances and incorporate a 40,000 gallon heated pool. Then they pat themselves on the back because they used countertops made from recycled diamonds and solar heat for the pool (when it’s warm enough to do so). It’s a joke. They are treated as heroes in these magazines, setting the example for the rest of us slobs. In the meantime average Americans use far less energy in their homes and don’t throw away usable items every few years to redecorate, but they receive no recognition at all.
That, in a nut shell, is the way of the Left. Welcome back to high school.
