Is the White House and Congress going dark? Only a matter of time at this rate.

Pray for America

So governments will be shutting off street lights? Headlights on cars while driving? Televisions? (there is an important basketball game on then). Businesses? like stores? If you take a picture, I am assuming you can’t use a flash.

Oppression by the stupid.

I had a neighbor that had a super bright light just outside my bedroom window to light his driveway and car so no one would steal it. Guess what, it got stolen and I didn’t hear a thing.

Thanks for the heads up. EVERY light, appliance, TV, whatever, porch lights, you name it, will be on at that hour, while I'm watching the Final Four relaxing on the couch.

Can't think of a better way to honor this crap.

If they really wanted to save those delicious animals, wouldn’t they turn off their lights permanently? Shouldn’t they stop exhaling all that nasty CO2?

Good job!! Yours is the best and truest reply yet. But in consideration of DANGER you forgot to list the automobile, airplane, stairs, elevators, stoves, fire, medicine, surgery, bikes, guns, knives, stones, ships and boats, roller skates, rope, candles, and the MOST dangerous human activity of all.
For safety, man never should have left his cave.

You must be a very heavy sleeper. Fortunately I have dogs that alert me to anybody outside. One night I hollered at them because they were barking and I was tired. Should have gotten up, they were warning me that someone was breaking into my car. Now I listen to them.

My neighbors light is not super bright and does not go past his driveway. It’s the streetlights that light up the bedrooms. My next door neighbor is just a busybody.

They’re down to a thirty-minute “Hour”. Kinda like the few-thousand-strong “Million” Man March. Hey, it’s the name that counts.

Be nice if someone could fly over al Gore’s estate and snap a picture, to see if the palace is darkened for the event, or if it’s only for the peasants.

Nah, they only want YOU to turn off your lights.

They are above all that, as they know better, much better.

I will be sure to turn on every light in the house.

And . . .

In a dedicated effort to blind all the liberals that live around me, I think I will run around the house 5 times buck nekkid.
