   Count me in! We already talked about turning all our lights on tonight anyway.

   Bytheway: Our HOA rules state that we HAVE to have a spotlight or two on in the front area to keep away crime, etc. So to turn our lights off, we would be in violation of our HOA rules and Regs.

   I had no intention of sitting around in the dark for an hour tonight, so consider me in. In fact, I may turn all of the house lights on and then go bowling.

   On a side note, this dumb Turn-your-lights-off nonsense reminds me a lot of the Red-ribbon craze in the 90′s, remember? People behaved as though refusal to wear the ribbon meant that you wanted AIDS to kill people. Stupid, useless symbolism.

   They are going to save $102 at the UN and anyone want to bet they spent more on that advertising about this event then they saved? I also bet the damage done to the environment with print of notices was more then what they saved in energy for this hour.

    I’m in favor of turning off unnecessary lighting but not because of the global warming hoax. It’s because I’m an amateur astronomer and mankind is losing one of the greatest natural wonders of all–the starry sky. Light pollution has gotten so bad that there are millions of people in this country who never seen the Milky Way. The protest reaction to Al Gore and his minions may make that problem even worse.

    1. A good reason to break out the bundle of Christmas lights, plug them in, and leave them on the porch.
    2. I find it ironic that this movement of theirs is accompanied by darkness.
    3. Verse of the day: “Then Jesus again spoke to them, saying, ‘I am the Light of the world; he who follows Me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the Light of life.’” John 8:12

    Next, let’s see how many people we can get to freely give up secret ballots.
    Then, let’s see how many people we can get to freely relinquish their guns.
    Then, let’s see how many people we can get to freely agree to one global currency.

    Every year, the moonbats pat themselves on the back for “bringing awareness about AGW” by turning their lights off for 1 hour. Then they jump in their gas guzzlers and head off to a big shindig full of people who think, er, feel, exactly like they do, with tons of lights and high-toned fancy to do food. Probably Chilean Sea Bass and Mayagu steak.

    Notice they do this between 830 and 930pm on a saturday. That way they can get the kiddies to bed before going out to party.

    We all need to our lights on since if the “One” and Lefties get their way soon we won’t be able to afford the electricity to even keep our refrigerator running. Of course the only time you’ll be able to have electricity will be on the days the wind isn’t blowing or it’s blowing to hard (assuming of course you live close enough to one of those electrical generating facilities, with current technology about half the power generated is lost after 200 miles on high voltage transmission lines).

    I participated last year simply because I looked at it as a way to save energy and money for me. But, now that it’s so strongly tied to this “vote earth” and “global warming/change/cooling/whatever” carp, it has become a joke.

    By the way, I’ve got news for the environitwits… the earth is going to survive, it’s the people that are in trouble if the horror they believe comes to pass.

    And another point, because of bumper stickers, I’ve noticed many of these global warming folks have the Darwin fish on their cars. What? Do you mean to say we won’t evolve and adapt to this gradual change in climate?

    Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

    Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
    And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
    Do not go gentle into that good night.

    Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
    Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
    Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

    And you, my father, there on the sad height,

    The reality is that there is no direct empirical evidence that carbon dioxide has a detectable influence. Thus, EPA or Congress would be ill advised to implement a policy to regulate something we cannot successfully measure.

    Regular light bulbs usually only burnout when you turn them on.

    So, there will be a lot of enviro-nitwits driving to the store to get replacement bulbs at 9:35pm.

    I’ll make sure all 9 of our TV’s are on, and both computers as well!

    Um…NINE TV’s?? Wow. I thought our four TV’s for the two of us was a lot! We also have three computers. I guess we are the greedy bastards, huh?

    I don’t want to rain on anyone’s parade, and I have had as much fun with this as the rest of you. But…why should we run up our electric bill for a “protest” that no one will really notice? Why not just do what we always do…have a nice meal, run the dishwasher, do a load of wash if we want to, keep the usual lights burning, watch TV. Just don’t turn the lights off and sit in the dark. I really think that would be enough of a protest, and would be easier on our electric bill! I’m all for protest, if it does some good. But this one will only give us a sense of self-satisfaction, and cost us money. Sorry…just a thought.

    Yeah, what could go wrong?? People who live in glass houses should not keep all the lights on. You might find a few bricks in your living room!

    I’ve posted some of global warming pictures here in Kansas. I’ll do some more in a few hours. Anyone is welcome to use them in their global warming thesis.

    My neighborhood in Eagan is chock full of people who will turn out their lights at 8:30… we will have all lights on, I’ll have Stevie Ray Vaughn blasting in my downstairs office, porch lights and spot lights on, while my wife watches Ice skating on our huge old CRT television. With every light on in the house…. I love this, I really do!

    Too cold out, in the 40s, darned global warming, or I’d dump out last Summer’s gas from the mower which had it running rough two weeks ago, into the driveway, and on to Galveston Bay via the gutter, a creek and Greens Bayou, and it looks like the pick up truck race will be rained out, but I’ll leave some lights on.

    Do my part to battle the scourge of global warming cooling which has people in Oklahoma battling eight foot snow drifts.

    I would rather light a candle then curse the darkness Earth Hour or the Pagan Hour your choice. When you absolutely need to worship something and your Messiah is busy

    Just like Motel 6 I’ll leave the lights on.

    The U.S. Capital won’t have to worry about turning the lights off, their never on…natural dimwits.

    As I’ve been stocking up on ammo, I am also buying incandescent lights, at my age 63 I should have enough to make it to the end of the ride…assuming of course Odopey’s civilian volunteers are empowered to search and seize by that time.

    I have been stocking up on the old bulbs for over a year now…whenever they are on sale. I refuse to use those toxic, mercury-filled monstrosities that make me think I am going blind! What a joke!

    At 7 I cranked up my diesel tractor, left my (incandescent) lights on and drove to a friend’s house. We had a nice visit (with every light in his house on and both our cars idling) and I got home around 10.

    I’m not only leaving my lights on, I’m going into strangers homes and turning their lights on for them! Actually that may not be as appreciated by some of them as I imagine. Oh well, we do have to fight the Ignorance and the Agenda.
