I have very little patience for people who think that disagreement = bigotry.—

Because as you get older you realize, the real world doesn’t work that way. You can’t appease your enemies for they will lose respect for you and take advantage of your weakness. You have to *GASP* pay for things you want. And money? Can’t simply be printed without losing it’s overall value.

Yep. Reality sucks.

But it’s called life.

Deal with it.

Sure, candles release more heat/CO2 than bulbs, but it makes progressives feel better about themselves & that's what's important. #EarthHour—

Earth Hour ………………….. *snort* HAHAHAHHAHAHA …

How about this – how about retraining yourself to conserve energy every day of the year? I know that Earth Hour is a day to remind people of that fact, but geez louise, people – sit in the dark for an hour?

Consider these …

Light brings safety. There are safer ways to make a statement and raise awareness than to create a controlled time when thieves and rapists know they will be harder to spot.

The energy spent raising awareness about Earth Hour just might cancel out the energy saved that hour.

It is perversely amusing to see thousands of Earth Hour adherents generate illumination during Earth Hour by lighting candles and making bonfires. Isn’t the very premise behind Earth Hour to REDUCE carbon emissions? Where is the logic in eschewing clean-burning electricity – and by the way, 96% of the electricity in the province of Ontario IS clean-generated – in favour of illumination obtained from a power source (i.e., open fire) that generates completely unfiltered CO2 emissions?

Indeed, most of the candles sold in Canada are made from paraffin, a petroleum byproduct. Thus, illuminating one’s house with paraffin candles is equivalent to letting a diesel engine idle.

Oh, and how’s this for an inconvenient goof? Turning off the lights in a skyscraper only to reactivate those lights an hour later actually consumes MORE power than letting those lights remain on for the duration of that hour. Oh sure, it makes for a nifty photo op – but what, pray tell, is the point? Is Earth Hour simply about feel-good optics rather than tangible solutions?

But hey, if participating makes you feel good, knock yourself out.

What I learned today from leftists on Twitter: Presidents can't control gas prices. Unless they are GOP presidents.—

Do YOU believe everything you hear/read?

I sincerely hope not. Because you’re being lied to every day.

Take everything with a grain of salt – everything.

Find out for yourself if what you hear/read is true.

Separate yourself from the “sheeple.”
