Earth Hour 2008

Everyone be sure to turn off all of your lights from 8-9 EST. If you have no idea what I am talking about, click this link:

If you are on the road, be sure to bring your NVG's.

P.S: If you don't this this is big, you need to hop on over to google for a second

i like how even google admitted that their black background has no effect on energy saving. The only place it would, would be on a crt, and they said it was such a minute amount it didnt even matter.

So, for this hour global warming conspiracists will be in the dark, literally?

I would turn off all the lights but I need them on to boycott the greedy oil companies for the hour.

I'm doing the opposite just to counteract all of your savings.

I'm going to turn on every light, turn the A/C on full blast, open all the doors and windows, turn on the washing machine, dryer, microwave, oven, stove, open up my fridge.

Then I'm going outside and starting my cars and all my lawn equipment and just let it all run.

Have a nice day.

I think we should just go back to how things were in the 70's and let the Factories dump anything they want in to our water ways and Air.

Yeah, I miss the days of Acid Rain, Heavy Metal's in our water, and River's catching on Fire.

People complain about China being So poluted, What's the Big Deal? We should be able to do what THEY'RE doing, but on a bigger Scale.

It would Really help our Economy.

It's not like Man Kind can impact his Environment. God will fix it..

Screw Global Warming. I don't care if you believe in it or not. It's cheaper and better for our economy to NOT have all these "Environmental Controls". Let's just get rid of them all.

You wonder why it's so cheap to make stuff in China?? They don't have these Standards. And then the Athletes complain they Can't breath in Beijing while practicing for the Olympics, and Half of them will wear Masks to compete.. Sissy's.

I like Pollution. It's fun. I think we should all go back to burning our garbage and Tires in our back yards. It's not gonna do anything to the stupid environment. There's only 10 Billion People on this earth, What Could WE do to harm it.

I think it's "cool" that I'm only allowed to actually eat Two of the Fish I catch each month because they're full of Heavy Metals, Al Gore's a Hypocrit.
