When I refer to "fad" I mean the aspect it has taken up in the popular consciousnous and seems to pop up all over the place now in popular entertainment to popular political action globally...not meaning that it is a frivilous issue when it is indeed very real. Just I find the nature of how many people have taken up it's banner and mantra so zealously to be very reminiscent of past "fad"s... when you have Ed Stelmach claiming environment trumps economy for the PCs, you tend to raise an eyebrow. Everything about it feels quite dubious to me.
