I am getting the clear indication that you are a fan of Ken Wilber's work. The wikipedia entry is interesting.

Quote:Green is also beautifully captured in the view of Earth from space - seeing that there are no boundaries of countries, and that the entire earth is precious and valuable.
What an interesting coincidence as I chose to use this image as my profile picture on Facebook today.
Yes... I think this pretty much sums it up...

An unhealthy Green sees all elections as inherently "unfair competitions" and all recognitions as unfairly elevating someone "over" another, which implies that the rest simply aren't good enough. The unhealthy Green worldview takes political-correctness to the extreme and is easily offended. In addition, there is a deep suspicion and distrust of all authority because it automatically assumes that all leadership comes out of hierarchy and power.
Finally the biggest challenge with the Green viewpoint is it's intolerance to intolerance. Because Green is so convinced that everyone is equal and should be accepted as such, it can not accept those who can't see things from that viewpoint. So, in effect, Green believes that all viewpoints are right, and if you don't agree with that viewpoint, you are wrong. This presents quite the dilemma!
