60 MINUTES OF GUILT-THE EARTH HOUR EDITIONFull Blog
Remember the movie Wall Street? Gordon Gekko, the high falutin businessman played by Michael Douglas insisting to everyone that "Greed is Good". Ahhhh the 1980's, life was simple, getting rich was the main focus and the only cause celeb we had was helping the world's poor and hungry in another part of the world. Fast forward to 2009 where the mantra is no longer about money, but rather a different kind of green. In today's version of the film you would likely have a power suit wearing business type exclaiming to his staff that "Green is good". You see in today's world the priorities have shifted from doing true good, to a self righteous movement that uses guilt as its main motivator.The so called "green movement" won't be satisfied until we all have turned our homes into wind farms, our freezers into compost storage units, and our kids into miniature preachers spewing the merits of carbon offsets at the dinner table. It was clear to me some time ago that the environmentalists had not just found a way to go mainstream, they also hijacked a pretty decent colour at the same time. This Saturday the world is supposed to gather and live life like the electric showdown between Edison and Tesla never took place some two hundred and twenty years ago. According to the organizer's website they say "Switching off your lights is a vote for Earth", funny I don't remember them calling an election. If I leave my lights on, like a sane person, does that mean I have somehow voted for Mars?
