If green were outlawed, obviously St Patrick’s day would be ruined, and some people would be rather heartbroken. But what if they went so far as to outlaw all green, even grass, trees, or vegetables? It would ruin the landscapes, and of course they would have to do away with flowers too, because flowers have green stems and leaves, right?
So imagine, no flowers, no grass, no salad, nothing but a ragged tyranny of barren trees, bushes, and stubble. There would be no hedges, no shrubs. Brides would have to have bouquets of sticks, or none at all.
I wonder if there would be an oxygen shortage? If there were, I have no doubt that certain people would use that as an excuse to promote abortion even more than they already do, because obviously it’s blatantly irresponsible to have kids when there’s an air shortage! Never mind that the problem could be fixed in a few months or less.
But even if there weren’t any problems with the air (My Mom thinks that the plant life in the ocean would probably keep us going) what an ugly world it would be! With all the gardens gone, all the trees stripped, all the grass either dyed, or sheared. In trying to improve on God’s design we would be perverting it.
Although even if this happened, I’m inclined to believe that every spring the baby leaflets and the tiny blades of grass that sprout regardless of the merciless poisons and mowers would laugh in the face of the arrogant fools that dared to try to correct God.

I just had to comment on your post. It is insightful, thoughtful and extremely well written.
It caused me to wonder what would have happened to me myself, since…..I have green eyes, I did not laugh as the thought occurred to me that I might have been ordered to be eauthanised, sort of like all of the Jews during WW2, just because someone didn’t like something about me.
A sobering thought, and maybe this society isn’t so far away from implementing things like that.
Thank you for this wonderful post. I’m sure your mom and dad are very proud of you. Excellently written!

HOW OLD IS SHE? What amazing writing.
Thanks Deana, I really enjoyed that.
Michelle,
She’s 15, and I agree that she has a great talent. Maybe I’m a bit biased, so it’s nice to hear that others agree!
that was really well written!!!
Superb. I really love your interpretation of the question and all the thought you put into your answer. Very provoking and well written. I agree with the other commenter, you are quite talented.
