When confronted with reality, a Green will fall back on "Never wished, never to be" while chiding people to deny "Corporations" the opportunity to control their lives. And just what are corporations? Starbucks? Pfizer which markets Atorvastatin? Corporations are as varied as the fish in the sea but are we to think they are all evil?
Greens have oversimplified things to the extent that they cannot gain legitimacy unless they buy slick green marketing using our taxes.
But what is truly irksome about Greeny people is that when American entrepreneurs (and corporate and academic scientists) finally do solve some of the environmental problems that can be successfully marketed (by corporations), these people will claim credit for it.
"Wish it and it will be" and "if and when it comes to pass, it was only because WE THE GREENS wished it so". How insulting to American scientists who dedicate themselves to advancing science. Now these algaic slimesters are proposing that we pay taxes that are given to them so that they may tell us how all our good efforts and products (deemed and labeled environmentally-friendly) are their ideas.
We'll now they have a pot of money to start building a base and registering voters. Drip. Drip. Drip. Another other thing they can depend on is the money corporations give as tribute (paid by the consumer) to these "communists and socialist and crazy people" to keep them off their backs.
