Green is the new red, white and blue.

i was reading the bible (newsweek) last night and read somebody's quote that "green is the new red, white and blue." it's true... green buildings, sustainable living... they are hot buttons everywhere. (let's hope it's a trend with momentum rather than a passing fad.)

i can just see all the republicans in their red ties and their mahogany desks going, "shit! when did green living become admirable? i thought we effectively made environmentalism a pansy-ass cause, and now it's catching on all over the country. i love oil! oil, oil, oil! i suck."*

it's too bad our fear of emptying our wallets at the pump rather than depleting the world of its healthy environment is what scares us into making green living a patriotic thing, but it's better than nothing. money-hungry oil drillers who ruin the earth? so unpretty. so are red ties.

*(ok, no republican would ever say "i suck." cause they don't. yes they do. no. yes.)
