Green or Yellow

I have three questions about SDi and Integral Politics that I have been thinking about for some time, and am still confused about.

The first question is this: Which of the following people or organizations are Green or Yellow, or neither?

Barack Obama, Hilary Clinton, Bill Clinton, John Edwards, Dennis Kucinich, Al Gore, the Democratic Party, Air America Radio, Ed Schultz, Randi Rhodes, Noam Chomsky, Howard Zinn, Howard Dean, Ralph Nader, the Green Party, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid.

My second question is tied somewhat to the first, in that one individual mentioned, Bill Clinton, has mentioned Ken Wilber at the World Economic Forum and has even given Gore one of Wilber's books, and both Clintons have been characterized by progressives as being “Republican Lite”, “Bush-Cheney Lite”, etc. Is it a sell-out to the Trilateralist Multinational Corporations and their political allies to consider those who embrace the Integral Approach as individuals who understand 2nd Tier thinking, even though they serve 1st Tier, Corporate (Orange) institutions? And if so, how do we get beyond this if everything we are taught by SDi and Wilber is being co-opted by the corporatists?

Lastly, is anyone teaching these ideas to the social activist groups who mobilize large rallies and shout at the tops of their lungs at protest marches for Iraq and other issues? It seems to me, they are the “Mean Green Meme” personified and could use a heavy dose of Integral Politics, SDi, etc.
