Going Green

Going Green is in fact the new Breast Cancer Awareness. This statement may confuse and even anger some of you...well, both of these topics anger me! Let's start with Breast Cancer Awareness, it's older and take a little more heat. The problem I see is that the cause has become so commercialized that it is no longer about researching to find a cure for a life threatening illness, it's about buying everything you can think of from plungers to Kitchen Aides in the only shade of pink that makes me want to vomit. That's right, there is one shade of pink I gag when I see. Further more, if we started promoting prostate cancer research and selling everything under the sun in a tacky shade of blue, there would be a women's rights group ready to protest...what is that, I thought the idea of Women's Rights was to be equal, not belittling.
Moving right along to going green. The environment is important and let's not start littering or anything, but when we start taking Al Gore's "theories" as gospel, we need to stop, take a deep breath, and look at the twisted trail we are spiraling down. I promote buying hybrid cars, but do they all have to be so ugly? I've only seen two models that didn't look like we should drive them over a cliff to end there aesthetic misery. The truth of the matter is, Hollywood tries to be socially minded at times, the result is that the army of mindless drones that follows Hollywood like they're gods and goddesses follow as quickly as they can. Well, much of Hollywood has decided that being environmentally conscience is necessary, thereby turning the Green Movement into the latest trend!
