Got everything turned on around here, including the A/C, even though it’s 50 outside. Once it gets cold enough I’ll crank up the heat. Mother Earth can bite it.

I heard on the news that the Empire State Building is participating this year. Likewise two tall buildings in Cleveland. The virus must be airborne.

There’s that awfully bright moon out tonite-wonder what the Lib-tards want to do about that?
Darkness, darkness- everything must be dark.
Why don’t they just blind themselves- then they could be in the dark forever.
All my lights will be on.I’m not going back to the 12th century for anyone!

A crane toppled over in NYC, let’s hope they are allowed to put the lights back on so they can see what happened.

When they return all life on the planet to the 7th Century, does anyone care to guess who will be forced to shovel the horseshit?

Earth Hour in North Korea a stunning success!

The WWF sponsored Earth Hour has already come and gone in the Korean time zone, and the North Korean proletariat has claimed a stunning victory over its evil capitalist neighbor, South Korea.

Oh, wait.

Seems it is always that way.

I like this line from Alan Caruba at the link below:

“Like fire, electricity is truly a gift of the gods. It is the difference between the Dark Age and the present age.”

I leave my lights on all the time anyway so that is no change for me. The weather is perfect here now (yes perfect weather in Houston) so I don;t need the heat or the a/c. I know........ I'll turn on the heat until it becomes uncomfortable and then the a/c to cool it back down again. Yeah, that's the ticket! (I am not really going to do the heat/a/c thing because it is too much trouble and like I said the weather is perfect!)

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, 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.

7:30pm-10:00pm
