"Would it been the ‘Pink House’ if the paint had been pink?" When I read this, I immediately thought of Big Pink, where The Band recorded their first album in 1968. Showing my age, I know. :(
I suppose I'm a bit cynical, but when I think of "Green House" my mind quickly turns to currency rather than the ecosystem. You see, Michael, I call myself "politically homeless" for a reason ... I find very little trust in those who occupy the halls of power in D.C.
That said, I appreciate and applaud your reference to the White House being built on the backs of slaves. I remember a scene from the John Adams HBO series where the newly elected 2nd president and first lady Abigail first visit their new home. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B0PE_kC-3EY
Pretty dramatic.
Anyway, thank you for your thought-provoking insights. I look forward to your next entry. -- Jim
