I don’t care about carbon emissions but wish my township would ditch the streetlights to avoid the 6 figures we pay for the 10 o so we have in the township.

An average serious accident will cost a community $50 grand. One serious accident will probably eat up nearly all possible savings of turning out the lights for a year.

To think that it could actually get dark at night. Imagine that.

I wish we could turn off the red light cameras!

Quit crying. Stand up.
It is time for all of us to do this, in every single thing.
Stand up, FIGHT! FIGHT! Never stop.

The New Dark Age is beginning. Where the UK goes so goes the US and the rest of the West.

Not enough of ‘us’ left. If there were, it would’ve never gotten this bad to begin with.

I like the dark.
Don’t be afraid of the dark. Be afraid of me in the dark.

You bet. Stay home, put the car in the garage, no heat, no lights, no gadgets, box of soda biscuits, wait for the sun to come up. Hope this never happens.

I’ve been watching the trend for a number of years now. No matter how much I want to deny it the pattern continues to repeat itself.

Bull chit.
We let it get this bad and now it is time for us to stand up.
We can, no problem.
They want to kidnap, they think we can’t too?!
It is time for each one of us to stand up, maybe we lose something—so what.
Young people die for STUPID ROE. We let them, it is time to STOP ALL this crap.
Are you a helpless chit? I didn’t think so. I’m not, either.
We stand NOW and we say no more!
No more! Do we leave our kids with this crap or do we clean it up? We clean it up no matter what.
