I'm probably the only one who thinks this, but compared to all other animals, humans are highly intelligent and have sophisticated morals.
Compared to the 10 most moral and intelligent people on earth though, the rest of the human race is pure scum.
Depends how you look at it I think.

I'm actually Canadian so your left is pretty moderate to me. I suppose you could call me "left of the left." Anyways, I don't know much about the American Green Party so let's take a look at their website [http://www.gp.org/index.php]! First thing I see is "Greens to attend 'Medicare: Made In America' rally on July 30, call for Single-Payer and an end to the insurance industry's 'death grip' on health care" so that's a good start, the USA has a horrid health care system. But I guess what I really want is their Platform Page which is from 2004, but it's the most recent I can find. I can't read the entire thing so I just read the 10 Key Values [http://www.gp.org/platform/2004/intro.html#998247] they hold. And I tell ya, they seem pretty solid to me. If someone in the American Green Party has done something remotely comparable to my favourite [http://mediamatters.org/mmtv/200907150016] nutcase [http://mediamatters.org/mmtv/200904220010] Glenn [http://mediamatters.org/mmtv/200905120037] Beck [http://mediamatters.org/mmtv/200903170029], I'd be glad to hear it. Or tell me the specific crazy parts of their agenda, since I couldn't read the entire thing.Knonsense said:
Humankind is merely ignorant, and ignorance is the root of all evil. (Not money, which is but a conduit it might travel.)
You want to combat evil? Seek knowledge and the training to interpret it without following it blindly. In other words, an education, ideally a critical-thinking focused one that doesn't teach you to just parrot answers.
The fight against evil starts and ends with every individual's capacity to reason.

I suppose that their desire for what they call equal distribution of resources sends some red flags up in my mind, but it doesn't sound like you would have a problem with that. I also don't like government control and rationing of health care.Ahhpple said:

Even if you don't think that's crazy, I think that most people would.http://www.greenparty.org/Platform.php said:
EDIT: Also, you seem to take Glenn Beck far too seriously. And the website with those clips seems to be full of very thick people.
Stupidly Evil.
They are ignorant of the world around them, for every person working to help clean up the world there are about thirty thousand people who continue to make it a mess. There are sadistic people who kill for pleasure and of course countries wage wars constantly. They have been poisoning the world with pollution and now are most likely going to be a key factor in the death of this world, as a species they are fundemantally insane and violent. It's all they can really do.
Humans walk around with a misguided image of self righteousness and really are the least impressive animal to be born on Earth... certainly the most destructive.

Do you people all think you are not human? I only saw a couple of replies with "we" in them. If you are not willing to apply these labels you are using to yourself then you are probably either wrong about them, or wrong about your self. No matter how much we all want to think we are something special, we are all more alike then we can imagine. We are only different in the little stuff, and how we act about it.
There is no evil, only degrees of ignorance.
Every single study that has been done relating education level to superstition has shown categorically that education kills superstition.
As the world pumps out more and more uneducated, poverty stricken morons, our descent into a split society of rational humnaists capable of critical thought and witch burning religious nutjobs will continue.
