____________________________________
"The U.S.S. Enterprise is investigating Beta III, where the U.S.S. Archon disappeared over 100 years before.
When the landing party exhibits strange behavior, Kirk sends another party down to investigate. They find the culture on Beta III is quiescent, with no creative tendencies. The entire culture is controlled by a group of 'lawgivers' known as "The Body" which is, in turn, controlled by the omniscient Landru. The inhabitants change from normal, peaceful people to a violent mob at the coming of the Red Hour. This 'Festival' is the society's only outlet for the tyrannical hold that Landru has over them at all other times."

CEI Announces 2nd Annual Celebration of Human Achievement
Washington, D.C., March 19, 2010—The 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 Hour’s 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.
CEI is a non-profit, non-partisan public policy group dedicated to the principles of free enterprise and limited government. For more information about CEI, please visit our website at www.cei.org.
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.
Landru???
OH MY!
I'm a Doctor, Damnit...not friggin' Al Gore!!!
You're right indeed. We should be watching 2 HDTVs at once.
Are you of the body?
E Plab Nista...
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.
Is that tonight?
I just bought 2 additional lamps so I am ready to rock!
Great comparison. I think I will pull out the DVD of it and watch it at 8:30 tonight.
FESTIVAL!!!

Oh I know. I am just having a little fun with this. All our lights will be on as well... even ones which I normally do not have on.
