Is there anything more incessant and annoying than the constant talk of “goin’ green!”? (Note: you can’t say it without shortening “going” and adding an exclamation point at the end.) Between five-minute segments on the Today Show and a billion internet blog posts, talking about goin’ green! has become so perfunctory that you wonder if some people just use it to describe an alternative form of anything. Coke or Diet Coke? Diet Coke. I’m goin’ green!

Since I’m self-employed now, it astonishes me when liberals talk about the evils of the profit motive, and generally makes me believe that most people who talk about how evil profit is have never been able to earn one for themselves.

In the health care debate, some people say that a person’s health is too important to leave to profit-seeking businesses and should instead be left to the government. But in many areas of my life in which companies provide me with goods and services in the search for a profit, I am very satisfied with the results. Isn’t health care too important to not leave to the profit-seekers?

Another scandal has earned the stupid title of “something-gate,” but this time, it’s a scandal I’m actually interested in. As it turns out, some top global warming scientists were caught e-mailing each other with phrases like “trick” and talking about how to suppress contrasting opinion.

Maybe that’s why liberals were so quick to point out the “SCIENTIFIC CONSENSUS” any time the science of global warming was debated – it’s easy to have a scientific consensus of global warming hypers control the consensus.
