I think everyone in America should hold ther breath for one minute!
That way, the carbon dioxide that won’t be exhaled will save the Greenland Ice Sheet!!

I hate being wasteful. But one hour won’t kill me. I hate these these self-righteous watermelons far far more. I hope I personally cause a brown-out.
Every window shade in the house is going up, and every light is going on. And flood lamps I haven’t used in years are going ON for one hour.
These are communists in conservationist garb: watermelons. That means they are power hungerers and freedom haters to start, and they hate humanity at heart. They seek every opportunity to increase state power at the expense of individuals.
They NEED large participation in symbolic acts like this so that weak politicians will feel there is a much larger body of people who don't mind being told what to do.
Here's another opinion from Canada's National Post. It reveals a well-financed event. This event is aimed at luring fools to reign down upon themselves more restrictions. Here's their counter-measure solution:
If you love civilization, freedom and the use of reason, keep on all the lights you need on Saturday. Take Back the Night.
I'll send the world a message tomorrow night alright! Join me.
Thank you for thinking of me when you saw this fatuous scheme!
As you are well aware(haha!)I would no more act in solidarity with these consciously ‘progressive’ creatures of the state than I would with any other pack of red fascist motherless b*stards!
Oh well, we get the intellectual underclass we deserve, I suppose. ;^)
Here's the opening lines from another effort by the morons at one of your country's propaganda outlets, The Canadian Press
“How many new pregnancies showed up in Sydney after this stupid liberal stunt?”
None. They’re all gay in Sydney.
“Good stewardship is a good idea. Yes, dont waste.
Thing is, most of these self-described environmentalists are among the most earth-harming, as their genuflections are only possible because they live at the top of the most luxurious and wasteful culture (dont get me wrong, Im enjoying my part therein) ergo something as petty as turning off the lights for an hour on one day strikes them as sacrifice.
Want to make a difference? turn the lights _on_ for only an hour a day - every day.”
Brilliant post.
