The Competitive Enterprise Institute, in the link below, offers a short video in celebration of Human Achievement, a concept they are promoting to counter the leftist-ecotard-dimwits' Earth Hour (very appropriately symbolized by "lights out", as in DarkAges, IMHO).

 




Celebrate Human Achievement Hour,
March 28, 2009 !

OK, everyone, it almost 8:30.

Turn on every light inside and outside your house.

Dang! I wish I had left the Christmas lights up this year.

That reminds me...I think I’ll vacuum, run the dishwasher, and do my laundry in the next hour.

Mine are on, and I keep a line of white Christmas lights on my wall unit all year, interwoven with viney plants, so they are on, too!

Does that mean you win more in the dark - or simply eat more vegetables?

Lol....I'm doin a big thick steak but I'll have some veggies on the side and stay away from the casinos.

Seriously, you can't hardly ever win here anymore. It's not like it was back in the early eighties and before. There is a lot to be said for this town and how it was when the mob ran it.

I've been here over eight years now and could count the times I've gambled on two hands.

Do you think they might have overlooked the very negative and universal symbolism of the “lights going out”?

Oh for crying out loud. Why do these rich, powerful corporations always cave in to these left wing fads?

There is no one there so it will not have an impact!

I had every light on in my house inside, outside, upside-down. :)

Had tvs and computers running as well. Felt like it wasn’t enough though. My husband did ask how long we were going to be in the tanning salon (he was for it though)!
