Are there any people who's names we need to know for the Green Parties/Movements?

nope...the Green Parties are part of a greater liberal (not democratic but extreme left) movement to rid the planet from industrial pollution. Think of it as the extreme reaction to the extreme pollution throughout Europe (especially Eastern). Charter 77 is a good example of a dissident group within the Iron Curtain that saw industrial pollution as worse than even political oppression.

You and your political cartoons...this is a great class you guys! One of the best teachers that you'll actually understand and remember throughout your HS years. Have a great day to you all. Good luck this year Smarties!

can you explain the whole right/left thing? i'm not sure that i totally understand it.

winter: left: liberal perspective, Right : conservative

When looking at the right-left perspective you have to understand the BIAS. If one is conservative, most likely Reagan is the greatest thing since sliced bread. From the liberal, Reagan is a terrible example of Americanism: throw out the poor for the rich.

When looking at the Cold War, liberals have a tendency to question the role of the US where a conservative would question the aggression of the USSR

to the last comment that u posted about the right-left perspectives, if the right winged perspective is conservative, how was the Charles Martel conservative? Didn't they believe that the government needed to be more controlling to prevent student rebellions?
