such a sweetie, babyhitler...a true testament to humanity, which, as you've already enlightened us, is the "cancer that will doom the earth and the environment". maybe if you go ahead and get the ball rolling by shooting yourself, the rest of us will follow suit...or not. btw, my mother's already dead so good luck with that.

Dadoc, I'm hopelessly out of touch, but your avatar seems either quasi-Luna Park, or something Decemberists-ly. Take no offense either way -- rock on .

If you don't care about anything else, save money. We know ConEd keeps going up, up, up. If it's not in use, TURN IT OFF. Not just for an hour, but all the time. You never need to live in the dark or not watch a show. Just use your energy wisely. Like I tell the kids, "Every time Mommy's home, a Polar Bear dies." (only kidding, kinda, but she knows no "off".) And, BabyHitler my compost bin is just waiting for you. Just lay off the antipsychotics for a few days so they don't wind up in my green beans. Dadoc

We were watching an episode of Banacek on WLNY at 8:00.

I'm glad to have only just learned that it's all the liberals' fault. Cueballing off of that logic (ahem), how are the conservatives doing their part to offset the heinous effects of Earth Hour -- leaving their Escalades idling the whole time? Or maybe trying to strong-arm some new plan to, say, destroy pristine lands drilling in search of dubious oil reserves that at most would address about 1% of the daily oil usage in the US while giving tax breaks to the richest oil companies on Earth? Yeah, that would do it.

babyhitler, How low can you sink?

We should figure out why every effort to green the planet or save energy means the human race has to sacrifice something. I'm not turning the lights out. I need to see. www.forgotten-ny.com

I wish the lights in the empty skyscrapers in the city were switched off every night...yes, it's a beautiful skyline we have to look at, but I'd rather have them turned off to save energy.

Turn the lights out for an hour...? Well it did give me something to laugh about for a bout thirty seconds. Idiotic.

"here is the only tried and true way to save energy and the planet. Buy a gun. load it with bullets and shoot yourself in the head. Humanity is a cancer that will doom the earth and the environment." so tell us, babyhitler...when do you plan on shooting yourself in the head?

This kind of thing has been discouraged in the past... if too many people did it, all the lights suddenly turning back on at 9pm could conceivably knock out the power.

And the fact that it's sparking discussion on the issues shows that it has helped more than doing nothing. Ergo this will be a success. Also it's shame NYC isn't participating.

Symbolic gestures have real meaning.

Helping the environment is a GREAT thing, and it's very necessary. HOWEVER, babyhitler is right. I hope the liberals are proud of themselves this evening.

here is the only tried and true way to save energy and the planet. Buy a gun. load it with bullets and shoot yourself in the head. Humanity is a cancer that will doom the earth and the environment. Earth Hour is just a way for liberals to feel good about themselves for an hour. Then it's back to polluting the environment. Celebrities and their huge carbon footprints are the worst to talk about saving the environment. If you look at every other creature on the planet they eat, take a shit and let their carcasses feed the earth. Humans won't even let their bodies be recycled when they put themselves in coffins that will take 1000 years to biodegrade. How's that for a big fuck you to recycling?
