In today’s ‘Post’ Peter Foster identifies the soft fascism underlying the Earth Hour idea:
The cause, masterminded by the World Wildlife Fund, WWF, is allegedly to raise awareness of climate change. But what needs raising is not so much awareness as knowledge. .... WWF has no interest in discussing or debating the issue. According to them, we should "stop talking and start acting." Check your brains at the door.I’m on board, Peter. To celebrate I’ll be turning on ALL my lights and cranking up the furnace.
[...]
If you love civilization, freedom and the use of reason, keep on all the lights you need on Saturday. Take Back the Night.
Update: Lorrie Goldstein makes some good points vis a vis the new Ontario budget. [via Blue Like You]

Yeah, well don't listen to me though. Apparently I'm just piss in the gene pool. ;)

If you want to do something for the planet, get your tubes tied.
You people are just sad.

'You people are just sad.'
Actually "us people" are really quite darn happy these days :)

If I were of your ilk, I would reply "Like your mother should have?", but as I am not of your ilk, I will simply take it that someone sh*t in your granola this morning.

"piss in the gene pool". The guy does have a way with words:>
Steve and his 'ilk' need to read Andrew Potter's article in today's 'Post' "A Convenient Untruth". It gives an excellent analysis of the lefty "declinists'" blind faith in the certainty of an AGW induced apocalypse. Their pathological pessimism is characterized as both a "sin and a betrayal". Though Potter does warn that "There is no point in arguing with declinism, because it is not a set of empirical propositions but an ideology."
