Perhaps that one of the offshoots of excess privatization of the service industries is that it removes the desire to go green. i mean by a quirk of fate many of the greenest of measures (insulation or wind power or solar) are very local very small scale affairs. Large companies do not make a profit there therefore. From which two things follow. The politics of the environment becomes caught up in the class struggles of yester year (people versus big business), and there is little or no impetus to follow throw a green agenda (as the wrong people make money). The entire debate become thereby infused with apathy and inappropriate class hate - which is of course beautifully British and wonderfully useless!

About Me
- Ranting Blog
- The aim is these blogs is to give a practical series of examples and off the cuff pieces of analysis which fit in to a far larger scale project of making Philosophy Political. Why does this matter? Because as Foucault says, one of them oddities of thinking is the extra silent thoughts one thinks without knowing it - call them assumptions or prejudicesor what you like. My aim in the pieces here, but also on the website, is then to reweave these assumptions, or at least aim to show how they might be unpicked. Hence the importance of the dictionary which is by far the most important entry here, and really deserves a blog of its own (it is called noted on media language)...
