Gotta pick up my burn barrel and burn all my junk mail. Two hours should do it.

They need to take measures to prevent exhaling when they pass out, of course.

When you point out the fallacy of the things that sheeperals advocate and do to affirm their "good personhood", then you are attacking their "good personhood".

I see. Then the argument turns into why I'm so "intolerant" with my "attacks on environmentalists / computerphiles / women / < insert victim class here >" and go from there.

Thanks for 'splainin'.

I had every light in the house burning last year, and I’ll do it again this year. Anything to piss off the radical enviro-nazis!

This a crock! Do you know what Indians did when their camp site got too nasty? They moved to another spot! Do you want to know who told me that? An Apache Indian.

Hey!

If turning off my 14 Watt Chinese Twirly Mercury-laden CFL for an hour will help the planet, then I should switch to the 150W Sylvania Tungsten Tanning bulbs and turn them off to help the planet EVEN MORE !

Whaddya think, folks?

Due to Irene, I celebrated earth day Aug 28, 2011 - 7:30am through Sept 16, 2011-2:00pm. That’s 462.5 hours. I did my share. The earth owes me. My lights stay ON, and no squiggly bulbs will be used.

I study the leftist worldview in order to understand them,
but not to sympathize with them.

In understanding their motivations, it makes it less likely that I’ll get brick marks on my head from beating my head against the wall in frustration.

And, now you know why you’re a viscious, mean, intolerant bastard when you simply point out the failings of the welfare system, green energy, etc.

Not breathing for 20 minutes will eliminate a lot of carbon dioxide. Less Greenie libs, and less carbon--double bonus for the planet!!!!!

Coincidentally March 31, 8:30pm is also Technology Hour.

Be sure to run all you electronic devices and bask in the glow of mankind's technological brilliance.

A few years back, there was some nutty college professor who wanted everyone to join hands around the planet then jump up and down at the appointed time. The desired result was changing Earth’s orbit so it would be further from the sun.

“Planet good! Lights bad!

Wanna bet how many Liberals will turn-off their lights but keep their 70-inch TVs, A/C, and computers running?”

How true, 99% of them are a pack of hypocrites. I am going to turn on every damn light on the property, do my best to make the place look like the “Lost Wages” strip.

I’m in, but I can’t do it at 8:30 pm, so how about if I turn the lights off at 11:30 pm?

How much grant money did he receive?
The plan *might* have worked but there are just too many people too lazy to get off their couches.

They want to create change? Buy one stamp with a dollar. Repeat until satisfied.

“Pledge to switch off your lights” - man, if you can get a can of spray wax to turn off your lights, then you’re really onto something.

The irony of using power to run the computers to talk about saving the planet and all that is lost on the liberals. Their reasoning ability does not allow them to comprehend the hypocrisy of turning off lights to save power, but using so much power to run their electronic gadgets.
