Note to all Watermeloons (spelling intentional):

If you are truly green, kill the main breaker to your house for Earth Hour and do not light candles. Sit in the dark as the temperature goes from comfortable to uncomfortable, listening to the silence of no machinery, thinking of that refrigerator full of food that will spoil if you don’t turn the power back on.

Then ask yourself, “is this the future I want for me and my children?”

"Will all the leftist mainstream media news networks be off the air? Why not?"

I heard Keith Olbermann will be taking a few days off.

I don’t want to read 80+ replies so this may have been answered already. As 8:30 P.M. rolls around in the various time zones? Or 8:30 Eastern, 7:30 Central etc.?

Thanks for the post! Rest assured that every light in and around my house will be lit. Might even turn on all the vehicle headlights!

I’m pretty sure there won’t be a single house observing this stupidity in my neighborhood.

I will be cranking everything I own to 11 for Earth Hour. I hope all of America will turn on everything thing they have to say “Screw You Earth Goddess Mother”, Algore, and all your dismal freakish followers.

This is just practice for our eventual return to living in caves, the ultimate goal.

If only that were the full extent of the environmentalist wackos' ultimate goal. Most of them consider humans to be a viral scourge that must be wiped out, in order to "save the planet".

We’ll be glad to turn our lights off for 8+ hours....just like we do EVERY night.

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

I'm having the entire Country of North Korea shut their lights off for 12 hours, every night.

Good job!
