Celebrate Human Achievement Hour,
March 27, 2010 !
Force of Darkness Earth Hour Challenged by Power of Light Human Achievement Hour
CEI Announces 2nd Annual Celebration of Human Achievement
Washington, D.C., March 19, 2010The Competitive Enterprise Institute, a leading free-market think tank, will celebrate the Second Annual Human Achievement Hour between 8:30pm and 9:30pm on Saturday, March 27, 2010. The one-hour celebration coincides with Earth Hour, an hour in which governments, individuals, and corporations will dim or shut off lights to symbolically renounce the environmental impacts of modern technology.
Earth Hours creators suggest that human inventions and technology are a problem, but we see the ability to create and innovate as the ultimate resource, says Human Achievement Hour founder and CEI Policy Analyst Michelle Minton. Environmental challenges will not be solved by turning off our lights and symbolically hiding in the dark, Minton added. If anything, we should be looking to technology and innovation to help solve environmental problems.
Just like last year, countless individuals, organizations, agencies and businesses will be celebrating Human Achievement Hour without even realizing it. Just by not shutting down their lights, operations and stores, they will be acknowledging that productive effort and the pursuit of happiness are a better alternative than sitting in the dark.
In addition to the observance of Human Achievement Hour, wherever people may find themselves around the world, CEI will be hosting a happy hour event outside of Washington, D.C.

Oddly, it reminded me of
Star Trek, too.
Because I'm going to turn on enough lights so that my house can be seen from space.

Invite your liberal friends to turn off the main power to their house during “Earth Hour” to see what life without power plants is like.
Turning off a few lights and then watching big screen HDTV by candlelight with the comfort of A/C is the ultimate hypocrisy.

Huh? I’m not planning to turn off any lights. In fact, I plan to turn on extra lights, so one HDTV is enough. I was talking about the liberals that believe in this crap.
