Alpha Proxima Day/Earth Hour Next Saturday

We’ll be turning on the lights all day to make up for the hippies turning off the lights for one hour.

I think we’ll win that battle.

And why would we do this?

Because, as Rebecca “Newt” Jorden once said, “it’ll be dark soon, and they mostly come at night… mostly.”

She also said, “My Mommy said there were no monsters, no real ones, but there are.”

Apparently Mommy never met anyone who celebrated Earth Hour.

  1. All-time favorite movie. Watched it a billion times. Of course, if Obama wins reelection, we’ll all be forced to give Hudson’s “Game Over” speech. That day, of course, may come even sooner if the SC doesn’t strike down Obamacare.

    Insty refers to Saturday’s lights-on counterprotest as “Human Achievement Hour”. I like the idea of a full days-worth of conspicuous consumption better. Stupid granola-munching hippies. They’d love for us all to return to living in straw huts…with no violent video games (all of which have the same basic subtext: punching hippies is fun).

  2. Celebrate human achievement by counting, reading, working or playing. Things no machine could do until we taught them how!

    ““Ford carried on counting quietly. This is about the most aggressive thing you can do to a computer, the equivalent of going up to a human being and saying “Blood…blood…blood…blood…”
    ― Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.
