Is the term "filthy rich" part of the Green Party's Doctrine? I was surprised when I heard Ken Pentel use the term in an address to the Property Rights Group before his loss in the last election. Because of the sweeping negative assumption expressed; it seemed demagogic to me. Perhaps it has a different meaning for the Greens; as in 'bad' is good in Ebonics. Is there a Gree-bonics where "filthy" is a term of endearment and respect? In which case, post Ken's coming out, he would be a "filthy gay" and we would aspire to be the "filthy poor"? I hope I figured this out correctly.
