Blog #12 Green Democracy

I would definitely join the Green Party; I think all aspects of green values should be incorporated into the green party. The ten key values are what make the Green Party. I particularly agree with equality amongst all people, animals and nature. I think with the growing environmental issues, the Green Party will grow as well. The have strong values in the environment, equality, non-violence and overall preserving the natural world. I would be one hundred percent on board. I think through time they will continue to gain support and eventually become a prevalent political party. However, with any movement, there comes extremists. Although I do not support the increasing industrialization and urbanization going on in the world, I do not think the actions of monkeywrenchers are justified. They can claim they are non-violent, non-revolutionary and not involved in vandalizing all they want, but at the end of the day they are destroying someone else's property that was more than likely costly without their consent or approval. It is extremely radical, but with controversial issues such as this, activists emerge and create radical solutions to radical problems. I think their intentions are honorable but they are going about creating change in a way that is just as bad as the people involved in industrialization.
