greens
I'm all about the initiatives of the Green Party. A grassroots movement that tries to combat the evil ways of Big Business is totally cool with me. I'm for corporate regulation. I don't honestly understand how a company can overlook the environment for the sake of squeezing every bit of profit it can out of production.
For a second, this post was going to be a bashing of the Green Party. Mainly because I saw that "respect for diversity" came in at number eight on a list of the Ten Key Values of the party.
As it urns out, I was too quick to judge and have properly put my foot in my mouth. The Green Party (along with myself), believes that "we must consciously confront in ourselves, our organizations, and society at large, barriers such as racism and class oppression, sexism and homophobia, ageism and disability, which act to deny fair treatment and equal justice under the law." [Note: That quote was found in key value number two, or "social justice and equal opportunity."]
I'm all about equality. So, party on Green Party, party on.
