Has anyone heard about this Earth Hour stuff?
Apparently, we are supposed to turn off our lights tomorrow night for one hour in an effort to "raise awareness of climate change and promote energy conservation."
So let me get this straight...
A world wide, hour-long blackout is going to remind us about the importance of "going green"?
How can we forget our obligation to save the earth from human destruction when political environmentalists are constantly ramming it down our throats?
Our society has been bombarded with this myth of global warming through billboards, commercials, periodicals, and an NBC network-wide "green week" ?
Hollywood elitists have become orgasmic over this asinine concept that if they wear clothing fashioned from bamboo shoots and rely on tofu for nourishment, they'll sleep better at night.
It's posh. It's glamorous. It's vogue.
But to me, it's bunk.
Now I'm all for practicing energy saving techniques: turning off lights when leaving the room, powering down the thermostat when going on a trip, coughing behind muffler-less vehicles, and especially not leaving the sink running while I run to the mall in my SUV.
However, I am not so ignorant to believe that humans even have the power to destroy a planet that God alone is destined to cleanse with holy fire one day.
That doesn't mean we don't have the power to destroy each other. In fact, the Bible says Jesus himself (Faithful and True) will roll back the sky and descend to the Mount of Olives, intervening in the largest war in history, before mankind becomes extinct.
But until that time, the only blackout we need to worry about is huge power outage that plunges the country into chaos due to an international economic meltdown.
Ever experience what happens when you don't have money to pay your electric bills?
So during Earth Hour this Saturday, I will go green by going bright.
I'm going to take an extra long shower (with the TV blaring) and wash an extra load of laundry while switching on all my mercury-ridden light bulbs.
A shining beacon...in the darkness.
I may even have some Christmas lights left over I can plug in to suck our precious electricity in oblivion.
Who's with me?
