LOL at JB :D . . . Mr. Blue, have you inhaled yet? Somebody send somebody up there and check that poor boy out. McCallan's? This should do it.

I just decided on no carbonated beer. I'm going with Boddington's and the nitrogen widget . . . That otta be good for one less degree somewhere. Oh, I just felt it, amazing how quickly that works.

Re: Turn off your lights? Earth Hour

In perspective of this dark period, just how many babies are going to be born in 9 months,,,,,,,and just how much future energy is going to be used by these babies. Again, for every action there is a reaction. I also wonder if any houses caught on fire from the CO2 emitting candles?

Yep, I did not participate, I need to have lights on while keeping the woodburner going to heat my house. :D

ohhhh, good point. :D

What the world needs, are some one-child laws like what China has, to be more widespread... or better yet, no laws but just a cultural shift toward negative reproduction (have no kids, great; have one kid, good; have two kids, ok; have more kids, bad)... Unfortuneately it's so deeply seeded into so many religions that it's not likely cultures around the world will shift that way. It's really too bad, too. China's declining population is almost completely responsibile for their economic growth. You see, when couples only have one child, it's pretty easy to pay their way through a good college education which in turn, fuels the rest of the economic boom.

I think these types of things are so stupid. Here they want us to conserve energy by turning off lights and lots of other little things at home, meanwhile, outside everywhere you look they are installing these huge jumbotron-type billboards and illuminating every little thing. Seems kinda pointless to me and I AM pro-environment.

Obama says he's gonna invite Algore to a cabinite position to help America fight Global warming, which followers of (GW) believe is due to exessive energy use. He also suggested that because WE AMERICANs are a wastefull culture that he would pass legislation to tax ourselfs to offset the carbons we distrubute while using these energy sources. BTW McCain is onboard the (GW) bandwagon with his ticket so, I guess were ALL ON BOARD NOW AINT WE?
