who have mutated to see only one primary color. That color is green.
Of course, there are at least three common emotions - at least in American culture - associated with the color green:
1. A lust for money: U.S. paper money is still mostly green, although those who pursue relationships for money are called gold diggers, and not green-diggers.
2. Jealousy/envy: The color green has been associated with jealousy dating back to the ancient Greeks. They believed jealousy occurred as result of the overproduction of bile, which turned human skin slightly green. I doubt that science has lent support to this hypothesis.
3. Environmentalist obsession with its actions and beliefs: This is another subject where many of the most ardent supporters have dipped into pseudoscience and conspiracy theories as much as the anti-environmentalists. Tis is a subject of which I am acutely aware, since I have degree in Conservation of Natural Resources from U.C. Berkeley that I earned back in 1976, just as environmentalism was growing rapidly and going mainstream.
So then, I am not a man from Mars, not little, not prone to jealousy, envy or lust for money, but yet I am still fairly green due to my rational environmental creds.
