Truthfully, I don’t totally subscribe to the theory of Global Warming. You can't find a real scientist anywhere in the world who can look you in the eye and, without hesitation, without clarification, without saying, kinda, mighta, sorta, if, and or but...say "yes, global warming is with us."
Scientific research through U.S. Government satellite and balloon measurements shows that the temperature is actually cooling - very slightly - .037 degrees Celsius.
You will not see me buying any carbon credits in the near future.
However, I think we can all agree on reducing energy consumption and energy dependence. Dependence on foreign energy is an attack upon the wealth of the United States.
So, last night at 8:30 P.M. we turned off our lights for one hour. We lit the candles and gathered in the family room. For the first couple minutes I felt sort of, lost, without the computer, without the TV, in a room without electricity.
However, it didn’t take long before my eyes started to adjust.
We talked about what we did that day. Remembered those who were not with us. We talked about what we wanted to do this spring and summer. Where we would like to be a year from now. We talked. We listened. We shared.
Before you knew it 9:30 had passed and we were still sitting there without electricity, but not in the dark, seeing each other better than we have for a long time.
