Hate me. Throw your best pair of Reeboks "Tareq Aziz"-style at me. Sue me.
It's true... I don't think Earth Hour is cool at all. In fact, I think it sucks.
I know, you're glaring at me right now when I said that. You're thinking that I'm just a punk kid with no respect to Mother Earth at all. Hey, I respect your right to turn off the lights and stay in darkness for one whole hour. It's an emo thing. It's okay.
But I have the right to not support Earth Hour too. If you can let certain groups of people poison others' mind with nonsensical political and racial views, or murder women and babies in the war zone then why not let me have the right to destroy the planet by not turning off the lights for one short measly hour? It doesn't make a difference whether or not I turn off my lights tonight - the planet is already way beyond repair anyway. It has already been plundered since the arrival of those pair of nuisance Adam and Eve. You know, I might have just as well saved the earth by not turning off the lights tonight - by depleting more resources leading to more life being reaped in consequence. Less population, less pollution.
We know that the destruction of Mother Earth is not man-made but destined by the Earth's polar tilt and other stellar and galactic forces. Global warmings and coolings have been cyclical ever since the Big Bang, and are beyond the control of any intelligent being. We mortals, cannot be blamed for accelerating the calamity by a thousand years. It's a fact - Earth is destined to be destroyed, so why bother turning off the lights? Your 99-year old grandpa wants to die in peace but you still want to keep him on life support?
Besides that, with the lights turned off who knows what could happen in the dark. You may bump your head, or something else might bump against you in the dark. Hope it's not something from that "Jangan Tegur" movie. You might trip over your grandma and unknowingly give her a heart attack. And you will never get to save her life because you can't find the phone what with all the darkness, and even if you did find the phone the ambulance will not be able to locate your house because it is too dark to find in the neighbourhood.
As for me, I might accidentally step on the tail of my neighbour's cat and get mauled by it in the dark. Earth Hour will be blamed for the death of a young potential lawyer if this happens.
You can commit murder in an hour of darkness. You can even rob a bank and get away with without being noticed in just a matter of an hour. No one can see you doing your crimes, because everything is done in total darkness. This is also a perfect excuse for lovebirds to do their "activities" in the dark. You can create babies for the whole session. On the other hand, this might be good for countries with low birth-rate crisis.
Oh yeah, it'd be nice and romantic being alone with your beau in the dark. But how can you be sure that's your beau beside you, and that your beau is not with someone else in the dark? Candlelights can be easily blown out.
Speaking of candlelights, the energy and smoke coming from burning candles aren't going to save the planet more than having the lights turned on. Burn stuff, let out more smoke, give Mother Earth and her children bronchitis.
Nope, I'm not gonna turn off the lights. I have my rights, there's no law that says I have to turn off my lights during Earth Hour. So while you punks trip over each other or get murdered in the dark, I'll enjoy the view from my bright-lit home.
So what's next after this - turning off all tap waters for one hour at morning? Now that's really gonna make Earth Hour stink.
