Anybody heard about this crap on tv or the radio?  In order to conserve energy, the greenies want everybody to turn off their lights and such for one hour on the 28th.  Call me crazy, but rather than have some feel good hour on one day, how bout everybody just be more conscious every day and make a real impact?  To me this is the equivelant of buying carbon credits so you can continue poluting on a large scale *cough* Al Gore *cough*

You can go through life being scared of the possible, or you can have a little fun and tease the inevitable.

Give a man venison, he'll eat for a day. Teach a man to hunt Blacktail, he'll be frustrated for life!

:haha:  I kinda thought that might be the same thing, and that's what I was telling the guys at work too.

That's exactly what we did!

I contend that for a nation to try to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle.

Well, that just makes too much sense to appeal to the wacky feel-good greenies....   :willynilly:

Personally, being an El-Cheapo, I conserve because I'd rather not waste my money.    :yupyup:

And speaking of a particular former VP, don't even get me started on self-righteous blow-hard hypocritical egomaniacs   :tantrum:
My goal in life is to be as a good a person as my dog already thinks I am.

"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free. "
