Preserving a Clean Planet Now Seems Controversial, But When and How Did This Happen?
As the photo for my earlier piece, Maybe This Isn’t Really Happening, I used a piece from my favorite surrealist painter, Rene Magritte, but I thought I’d offer this companion post to show the meme that actually inspired me to write it.
The author nailed it: When did taking care of the planet become a controversial issue?
Craig,
Maybe Rene Magritte is an excellent choice for the nature of your inquiry.
The Belgium artist is truly a great contributor to the Surreal art movement, but he was also a forger and criminal passing forged bank notes and falsified securities as part of a gang he organized.
My point is, nothing has really changed, only your perception. People still want to leave a better world for the children, they just may not agree with your vision of how this is to be accomplished or even your vision of what constitutes a “better world”.
Have you ever thought that when you advocate your vision of a better world with such certitude and conviction, you may have just started the ” partisan” process ?
