Chicago plans to join more than 20 other cities and shut off exterior lights on public buildings for an hour in an effort to raise environmental awareness.
Luke 10:27 (Love God Above All, And Your Neighbor as yourself) And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself.
Matthew 7:12 (Do unto others)
Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.
Matthew 5:43-48 (Pray for those that persecute you)
Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.
But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so? Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.
Luke 6:27-29 (Love your enemies.)
But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you, Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you. And unto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also the other; and him that taketh away thy cloak forbid not to take thy coat also.

If they find a Christian mistaken in a field which they themselves know well and hear him maintaining his foolish opinions about our books, how are they going to believe those books in matters concerning the resurrection of the dead, the hope of eternal life, and the kingdom of heaven, when they think their pages are full of falsehoods on facts which they themselves have learnt from experience and the light of reason? Reckless and incompetent expounders of holy Scripture bring untold trouble and sorrow on their wiser brethren when they are caught in one of their mischievous false opinions and are taken to task by those who are not bound by the authority of our sacred books.
Isaiah 8:12-13 (NIV) "Do not call conspiracy everything that these people call conspiracy; do not fear what they fear, and do not dread it. The Lord Almighty is the one you are to regard as holy, he is the one you are to fear, he is the one you are to dread."

nice.
Announce to the world a certain area will be without lights, so they can plan ahead. And get a jump on crime.
Breaking into a goverment building or attacking employees, sounds lke they'll enjoy it. But who cares who is harmed as long as the enviroment is helped.

'The organizer's first job is to create the issues or problems,rub raw the resentments of the people, search out controversy, embrace it rather then avoid it, stir up dissatisfaction.
Alinski's rules for the radical.
Words of wisdom: You are not alone, and this is not the end of your story.
They had an "Earth Hour" here in Sydney last year.
Great idea - turn off all the lights for an hour, then watch as everyone drives in to the city to see the skyline without lights on.
Oh - and something about carbon.....

I think this is a great idea. I don't think many buildings need to have as many lights as they do. However, I also agree that for some gov't buildings, they should do it on a RANDOM date not announced before hand. Not sure I want people to know the pentagon or someother crucial gov't building will be vulnerable.

Blessings,
Out of the materialism of the 1950s, the narcissism of the 1960s, and the hedonism of the 1970s has risen a society that aborts its unborn, commercializes the care of its children and warehouses its elderly. Blinded by such confused priorities, we are dehumanizing our country and destroying our family relationships.
