Gore should have absolutely known that his lights ON would bring awareness to his duplicity. If you have a platform that askes other people to do "X", you'd better also do "X" if you want to have your platform taken seriously.

EWWWWWWW As they rebuke God they pervert his plan. If only the fools that turned off their lights to "celebrate" that hour would turn off all of their electrically powered equipment. That would be glorious. Thinking of this spectacle as the bastardization of Yom Kippur makes it easier to understand the reverence that was lavished upon it.

I'm referring to anyone who thinks they can "make a difference" by turning off their lights for one hour a year, yet participates in our consumerist society - which will never be "carbon-neutral" (yes, I'm using your terms now, you dirty hippies). What's even more far-fetched is that politicians will take action following this act. I'm sure that all countries would be in a better place if elections were based on our ability to turn off electrical appliances.
