The problem isn't with my lights. It's with people who make it their business to care whether my lights are on or off.

No Kidding! I just busted my butt all day on a home construction project. I come in, get cleaned up, and kick back to watch some tube (which I don't even do that often anyway)...and I get this crap??? :mad:

I happily conserve when I can, but not tonight :rolleyes:

No one is their own island so, d@mn right it's my business to care about your lights.

I'm on the west coast so mine will be going out in about an hour, for an hour.

Perfect example of what's wrong with these people. They always think your business is their business and they know better than you, what to do about it.

Nobody is forcing anything on anyone. What is wrong is that some people think they know better that they shut down their brains and won't listen to anyone. EVERYONE leaves an environmental footprint.

No one is forcing anything on anyone? I'll give you a mulligan and a chance to retract a factually incorrect statement.

Those who are not inclined to pout because Al Gore says you should are invited to the CEI's Human Achievement Hour:

Human Achievement Hour | CEI

An excerpt of the text:

Green and private conservation are fine. We have no problem with an individual (or group) that wants to sit naked in the dark without heat, clothing, or light. Additionally, we would have no problem with the group holding a pro-green technology rally. That is their choice. But when this group stages a “global election” with the express purpose of influencing “government policies to take action against global warming,” we have every right as individuals to express our vote for the opposite

I couldn't help but notice that you didn't post anything in this thread for several hours this evening. It kind of makes you wonder....?!!! http://www.airlinepilotforums.com/im...ons/icon12.gif
(Sorry, I couldn't resist!).

You're right, and I'm going to make it my personal goal to burn as much energy this week as possible.

Lets start a new contest. How many engine pistons do you have at your house. Add them up, V8 engines count for 8 etc. be sure to include all of them lawnmowers, weed eaters, everything.

I have 44.

No retraction here. What? Did the Earth Hour organizers force themselves into your home and turned off your lights at gunpoint for an hour?:rolleyes:
