LEFT IN THE DARK

MILLIONS OF IDIOTS will turn their lights out tonight for one hour. These pitiful morons will do so because they have been commanded to, and believe that they will save the planet by doing so. The event is called "Earth Hour," and it is 60 minutes of pure stupidity.

Sunset in Chicago will occur at 7:12 tonight. 48 minutes later, hundreds of thousands of useful idiots and secular mystics will turn off their lights. By doing so, they believe, the planet will be made better. Many of those useful idiots, of course, will leave their televisions on, and their computers, radios, and appliances. Some will turn out their lights and go for a drive in their cars. Some will light candles, which produce greenhouse gases. All will continue to breath, and every breath exhaled will contain carbon dioxide. Geez.

Tonight at 8:15, look at the overcast sky. You'll notice that the clouds are illuminated, even though your idiot neighbor has turned off his lights. So, why is the sky orange? Because most of the light reflected from the clouds is coming from street lights. Gee, maybe we should turn off the street lights, too? Sure, and how about the traffic signals?

The pitiful fools who believe that Earth Hour is a good idea think they are making some grand gesture. They are not, and they are certainly not sacrificing anything. If these goofs turned off their lights and did not use electricity, or benefit in any way from electricity, I might be impressed. I might think they are serious. But they won't, and I don't.

For the truly stupid, you still have time to get instructions. Yes, instructions to help you turn out the lights in your home. "Add your name to the Earth Hour list to receive useful tools and tips," says the EarthHourUS web site. Here, you will also learn that "On March 29, 2008 at 8 p.m., join millions of people around the world in making a statement about climate change by turning off your lights for Earth Hour, an event created by the World Wildlife Fund."

Every paragraph on the web site, actually, is written for brain dead morons. Another excerpt: "We invite everyone throughout North America and around the world to turn off the lights for an hour starting at 8 p.m. (your own local time)–whether at home or at work, with friends and family or solo, in a big city or a small town."

We're "invited?" Huh? More like urged. Commanded, really, by the Leftist EcoNutbag Squad. Will you follow their command like a good little soldier? Don't be surprised if one day soon the Liberal Fascists pass laws that force you to turn your lights out at 8:00 p.m., every night, all year long.
