Quote of Note
I think you all don’t realize the degree to which you are pushing some of us who have been the industry’s friends for a long time. It’s increasingly difficult to continue defending the industry. One of the ways you all can prove your willingness to be a bit adaptable is to try to help us come to a solution for this.

Another political editorial within the pages of a supposed “insurance journal”. FYI, an article like this chisles away at the reputation of this publication. Rather than provide important industry insight, this publication seems to increasingly rely on political editorializing. Why would an insurance professional waste their time with such drivel?
Was this article written by Al Gore or one of the Czars hiding in the basement of the White House? The economy has recovered???? Green Energy going strong??? I guess the fact of the bankruptcy per week we see on these green companies after receiving several billion of our dollars don’t make any difference with this crowd.
Wonder if the environmental movement will be celebrating the fact that the Himalayan glaciers aren’t melting after all, but in fact are growing? I doubt it, that won’t enhance their agenda.
Exactly!!
“We’ve seen this year that the economy has recovered, and people are feeling more confident,” he said.”
What planet is the guy on? Not planet Earth.
That is either Van Jones or Cass Sunstein saying that Amazed. They live in their own world and it is not the same one we are living in.
Every Earth Day, I crank down the A/C as low as it will go and I open all the windows. If everybody on the planet did this, I think we could reverse Global Warming.
Hey everyone – Earth Day is such a horrible and terrible thing and is such a bunch of political mumbo jumbo just like you all say. In protest of this horrible political fakery that has been shoved in our faces, I say that every Earth Day we throw all our recycling into the trash (including batteries, paint, oil and every other toxic substance around our homes), litter as much as possible everywhere you can including your neighbors and friends properties, leave every gas powered engine that you have running on your front lawns, crank the A/C, turn on all your lights and appliances and lastly protest and try and shut down every “green” company that has been started in this country by someone searching for that elusive American dream because they are all a joke too.
Sounds like the perfect thing to do to me….and I am sure the above people who posted comments would surly agree!
Actually, you are right. Many ‘green’ energy companies are trying (some very successfully)to realize the new American Dream – free money from the government.
Seems to be the color of money!
I don’t know if any of you caught the piece Watters from Fox did on the Green convention. He interviewed several greenies before they asked him to leave. These people are the environmental wackos we hear about. They have absolutely no clue what is going on. I think they have been smoking some of that algae Obama wants to create energy. We should offer them a one way ticket to Cuba or Venezuela so they won’t bother us with this nonsense.
The Green Movement is a travesty on our society. All of their Progressive dreams are failures and show very little promise. However, our Progressive politicians continue to “invest” in these projects without our consent and throw our money down the rat hole. They think they can create clean energy from algae, moss, cow dung, inefficient ethanol and windmills. We need to dump every politician supporting this agenda in November and put people in with common sense and who represent the people, not an interest group.
