"Earth Hour"

Earth Hour crashes to Earth

Credit the public with sense. Earth Hour, hysterically promoted by The Age, the Sydney Morning Herald, the ABC, SBS, Sky News and the federal and state governments, resulted in no significant fall in power usage.


Much more at the LINKY-DINK

It seems to be the equivalent to lighting a small firecracker only to have it fizzle and go out.  No bang. No flash.  No ooohs and ahhhs.  Awwwwww.   :-)

There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value. Watch a Tea Party rally and you'll see people proudly raising the American flag and showing pride in U.S. heroes such as Thomas Jefferson. Watch an OWS rally and you'll see people burning the American flag while showing pride in communist heroes such as Che Guevera. --Bob, from some news site
