"Earth Hour" is a post-civilizational effort to make a mockery of human progress and ingenuity by encouraging people to sit around in the dark and ruminate on the despoiling of our planet, et cetera. To honor this repulsive nonsense, I'm going to leave all my lights on all night -- I call it "Light Night". Feel free to join me if you're so inclined.

Darkness is fun sometimes. It's incredibly rare though, you have to go out of your way to find it. And I have sympathy with amateur astronomers who complain about light pollution.
Maybe next time they can try holding their breath for an hour, to reduce their CO2 emissions.
