I Missed Earth Hour???

As I was reading about what a flop it was, I realized that I had also forgotten to celebrate Mankind Achievement Hour. Oh well, I continued to live my life without paying homage to anyone during that hour Saturday night.

One of the best reports I read had to do with Al Gore shutting off some of his lights but leaving the computers on along with the flood lights illuminating his landscaping. He was probably flying somewhere on a private jet anyway.

The idea of making this kind of a statement fits right in with the greenie's desire to take mankind back to a "simpler" era. Trouble is, none of them would, themselves, really like to live in such simplicity, much less be able to survive.

My favorite reflection on this exercise came, as is often the case, from Don Surber. And the best comment came from Tregonsee:

Reminds me of the joke, except it isn’t a joke, about North Korea.

How did the North Koreans light their homes before that had candles?

Electricity.

Celebrate achievement. Push for progress.
