Default Lemmings: Do not read

Some of you may know that tonight (Sat) there is an "Earth hour" promoted by arrogant statists and their half wit followers. You are supposed to turn off your lights and appliances and feel bad about yourself.

Those who are not inclined to pout because Al Gore says you should are invited to the CEI's Human Achievement Hour:

Human Achievement Hour | CEI

An excerpt of the text:

Green and private conservation are fine. We have no problem with an individual (or group) that wants to sit naked in the dark without heat, clothing, or light. Additionally, we would have no problem with the group holding a pro-green technology rally. That is their choice. But when this group stages a “global election” with the express purpose of influencing “government policies to take action against global warming,” we have every right as individuals to express our vote for the opposite

It happened in Australia they can only buy flourescents. Not to mentions their guns. Well what is Al Gore doing tonight? My bet is eating a nice steak dinner in his warm mansion watching looney tunes, then using his electric toothbrush.

I don't see why you're so against turning your lights off for an hour.

The funny thing about those CFL bulbs is if Cheney had invented them, he'd have been accused of being a shill for the mercury lobby.
