I've been prepping for this for a whole week (well, a few minutes, anyway). Earth Hour--that evil little creation whereby we're supposed to shut off our lights at 8:00 PM in support of Gaia--is creeping eerily across the globe only to reach here in less than seven hours.
To show the inanity of the idea, I've not only devised ways to keep my own lights and appliances on at peak, electricity-eating performance but plan on going to neighbors windows who aren't home and using the universal Verizon remote to turn on their TVs to add to the wattage. I'm also going to drink alot of beer so that I have to use the toilet as much as possible thereby increasing the wattage used at the treatment plant. I'm also going to set my dogs loose in the neighborhood to trip the neighbors motion detector lights.
Finally, the best plan of all: I am buying a dozen balloons, tying four extension cords to them as well as a light and letting it go so the neighbors can see my anti-global warmingist attitude in all it's glory. Hell, I may well do the same thing at homes where the neighbors are out using their outdoor plugs.
A devious scheme indeed but one needed as an antidote to the group stupidity gripping the world today.

Oh come on, bro ... if a city cuts down on its electricity usage by 10%, less pollution will be released into the atmosphere. True or False?
True.
I'm not saying the Earth Hour dealie helped clean up the atmosphere or anything silly like that -- but cutting down on electricity usage is a positive thing for the Earth.
That can't be denied.
Question: will my one single vote in the next Presidential election matter? My one little vote?
Probably not.
But 200,000 more of me and that could win an election.
One person doesn't matter so much.
But many do.
Holy crap, if Americans who didn't need to drive stopped driving for like a week, that would be phenomenal for the supply of oil not to mention cutting down the amount of pollution released into the atmosphere.
But just me not driving for a week ... means nothing.
Together society can make a difference.
Conservatives needs to take a look back at one of this nation's greatest Conservationists -- Republican Theodore Roosevelt. He'd be one damn pissed off President nowadays, leading the way in cleaning up the environment, at least here in America.
And let me reiterate his political affiliation -- Republican.
He was a true Conservative who wished to conserve, not destroy.
Today we destroy. I'm so damn sick of it. I'm not calling Al Gore a savior by any means ... but at least he cares. Caring about pollution and the Earth shouldn't be relegated to only the (D) party.
Unfortunately not enough of society truly gives a damn in order to bring about that positive change that can happen. Many make fun of people who want a cleaner Earth. What good does that do? Each day and week and month, the worldwide population escalates and the problems only get worse... nothing's getting better and slowly society is going to seriously harm this planet in ways many times worse than it's already screwed up.
That's not right. I'm not saying it's Priority 1 -- but it's something if we all did our part, things could change. Or we can just be lazy and leave it for the next generations... who will probably be lazier than the previous ones. Ain't that swell.
