Fight the Luddites Today

Today, thousands of people around the world will participate in “Earth Hour” an event conceived by the World Wildlife Fund and foisted upon us by a sycophantic media that asks people to turn off the lights for an hour and think about the consequences of their energy use.

This hour in the dark—to take place between 8:30pm and 9:30pm local time — is NOT something to be celebrated. Its organizers are using the event as a way to convince those in power to restrict our ability to use energy as we see fit. In short, this is a world-wide call for energy rationing, taxing, and the destructive tax known as “cap and trade.”

I will be celebrating Human Achievement Hour today. All my lights, floodlights, A/C, and both big screen TVs will be up and running.I may blast my stereo out into the backyard while I fire up my BBQ.

Celebrate the quality of life improvements things like power have brought to the human race. Don't be North Korea, sitting all night in the dark. Celebrate Human Achievement!
