Almost sounds like church.

If one hour is great - why not two? How about eight? Heck, 24 hours should produce MIRACLES! Do it during a work day.

How did your Earth Hour go?

Spent it at a local head-banger concert. The lights were very bright and the ELECTRIC amps were all turned up to 11.

Spent an extra half hour in my electric-powered hot tub.
Lovely.

I turned on every light and let all my cars idle.
Where I live everyone seemed to have every light on.

I was wondering just how many left wingnuts would turn out their headlights while driving that time of night...

Considering that I live in western Alaska, the whole event went well. There were huge swaths of sunlight from the Bering Sea coast all the way up to Point Hope. There were some specks of artificial light around Fairbanks and Anchorage, but since the sun doesn’t set until 8:40 p.m. and real darkness doesn’t occur until 11 p.m., we did our part. I would have gleefully turned on every light in the house as a protest, but not at 39 cents a kilowatt hour.

Isn’t this kind of event emblematic of liberal thinking - do something theatrical that shows off your intentions, then sit back and assume you’ve done enough?

We poured all of our waste oil into the local creek and set it on fire.

Drove 50 miles to visit friends, burned propane gas in the grill for about 45 minutes, used the oven to make brownies and watched a movie.

Granted that took more than an hour but it’s the thought that counts.

But that's not important right now.
