MrsWx and I took the kids to see The Lorax today. I'm not a fan of Dr. Suess and really wasn't that interested in seeing the movie but I've got to admit, this was a really good movie.

I remembering visiting my grandma's house when I was little and she would read the book to me (I'm almost 19 now, and this was probably 12-15 years ago)... But I don't remember too much about it... I vaguely remember something about trees getting cut down or something? I could be wrong though 
sad that environmental issues have to be seen as political.
Sad that capitalism has to in effect, be anti-environment. If I had to pick between an economic system and a clean, sustaining, healthy planet, I will take the later.
Love that book. Always my favorite (**** Cat in the Hat and Green Eggs and Ham). Glad to hear it was a really good movie even if IMDB shows it as a 6.5/10.

If you think that capitalism is "anti-environment", then how do you explain Eastern Europe, where "capitalism" is only now catching on after at least 50 years under the direct opposite of capitalism?
And since I haven't seen the movie yet (remember the book, depressing but it was a good book), I can't say it's all "environmentalist propaganda". Even if it DOES have that subtext, as long as it's a good movie it should be OK for kids.

Which makes it sad that a Dr. Seuss book is on the banned book list in some schools.
