I'm still working on getting rid of that small dot of light on the left side of the picture.

I'm having some trouble getting my hands on a Tactical Nuke, but I'm not giving up hope. My mission is to save the Earth from the vermin of Humanity and I will not be deterred from accomplishing my ultimate goal.

Tonight is the night I am going to turn all my lights on, run a few applicances and celebrate the fact that we have electricity. Like you, I don’t believe the earth cares one bit if our lights are on or off. Neither do the other animals on the planet, only the theives like lights out...they think no one is home....easy mark.

Years back we had a neighbor with a huge white German Shepard. The dog greeted everyone that came into their home with suspicion, you had to pass the dogs test to get pass the door....

If you passed the dog went back to his bed and laid down..

They came home one night with the side door broken into to...There was blood in the kitchen and living room, the dog was peacefully sleeping in his bed.....someone didn't pass the dogs inspection and left some blood behind...

Now that was a great watch dog....GG

I find the concept of the left of returning to a primitive existance so laughable...the reality is that if (when) this should happen, the environmental wack jobs would be the first to whine for someone to provide them with food, water, shelter, safety.

The “let’s live as one with the earth” idiots would be the first to die off, while we Redneck-types living in rural America would do very well. Oh the Irony!

I have one of those too bright for anything else halogen work lights. I always plug it in and point it skyward to celebrate.

Do you have a satellite photo of Tennessee at night ? I hear it’s easy to pick out Al Gore’s house.

My house electric panel couldn’t handle the load if I plug everything I own in at once, so I will also have to start the big, noisy, gas emergency generator and plug in a few mega-foot candle lights. You know the kind that can be seen from space.

In celebration of the abundance and diversity of energy in this country, I turn all the inside-the-house lights on for an hour EVERY Earth Day, beginning at 8:30PM.

If they weren’t typical leftist hypocrites, they could start with themselves.

Libs are hypocrites by definition. You also never hear of any of them voluntarily 'donating' more money to the government at tax time, although they're constantly screaming for the 'rich' to 'pay their fair share'.

They are also the same ones who want everyone concentrated in urban rabbit hutches, dependent on public transportation and government for their existence, and thus easily controlled.

I know, wasn’t it Chris Christie who recently told Warren Buffett to just shut up and write the check already, or words to that effect?

I didn't catch that, but I'm surprised that every average Joe doesn't utter the same thing in response to rich liberals complaining that their taxes are too low.

Mmmmm. I love the smell of 6013 welding rod and that lovely blue glow it lights up the street with at "Earth Hour".
