Guh!
Due to currently residing at Sue's, I am indunuated with the deluge of dreck that comprises the programming of MSNBC/Fox News channels. A prime example of why I tend to be torn between loathing and bemusement when exposed to these channels is the "green" segment on "Morning Joe" - the gist of the segment was "being eco-conscious is a fun new role as a consumer!" Admittedly, I am far more passive regarding ecological responsibilty than the Kantian ought would dictate I should be. But, as someone who possesses a modicum of self-awareness, at least I'm not harboring any delusions that consuming additional resources beyond what I actually need is positively contributing to the 'common good'. Perhaps I'm just envious of blithe air of self-congratulation that the hosts seem to possess? Oh, wait, parsing this entry, one could reasonably conclude I have totally mastered that :) ... So, no, the unsound logic merely grates on me. At least that's what I'm concluding at this (sleep deprived) juncture.
