Let there be Light

Tonight, at the encouragement of Hollywood celebrities and other stellar minds, we are supposed to turn out our lights and sit in the dark for an hour contemplating how we can save the planet in solidarity with everyone else sitting alone in the dark and feel good about ourselves. Instead - I'll be celebrating Human Achievement Hour as I'll be driving to and then watching some teenagers play a hockey game in an artificial ice rink in a warm building with all the lights on. And I will leave all the lights on in my home while I'm gone.

And remember. The Dark Ages. They weren't good. That's why they were called "Dark." I wonder if the wizards of smart who think they have all the answers understand the irony of their "Earth Hour" darkness loving, self-importance. This charade reminds me of the celebrities who, in solidarity with the homeless in the '80s, would go downtown (cameras in tow, of course) where those poor souls lived, sit with them, eat out of cans and "share" their feelings with them to "raise awareness" and after it got a bit cold and tiresome would get themselves back to their big homes in Malibu and congratulate themselves on their "solidarity" with the homeless. All feeling and no doing. If those who participate in Earth Hour tonight actually believe in this idiocy, then they should permanently disconnect their electricity, their heat and sell their cars, their TVs, their IPods, their cell phones, their computers.. well you see where I'm going.
