Shine a Light Tonight!

In about 30 minutes here in the Northeast it will be 8:30 pm, the start of this time zone's participation in Earth Hour, or, reject technology and sit in the dark for the good of the Planet. Play dead for an hour and say no to global warming. Show solidarity with the United Nations as they switch their lights off (and make themselves a hazaard to air traffic, one assumes). Join your Obamabot neighbors as they turn of their 50 inch plasma tvs and sit reading Audacity of Hope aloud to each other by candlelight. If you must drive, do it with your headlights off. Maybe you can contribute to lightening the population burden of Mother Earth. And besides, it's good practice for coping with the results Obamassiah's cap and trade plan.

Well, bugger that for a lark says I.

At 8:30 sharp every light in my home is getting switched on, including the porch light, which I will need because I'm out the door and headed for various points around our fair town where I will sit with my high beams on until I make a point or the cops catch me, whichever comes first.

Go thou and do likewise!

'A New Dark Age Is Dawning' Is Back!

Visitors to my website will know that it was ‘locked’ for a period of over two weeks.

I am pleased to be able to report today that the website has now been ‘unlocked’. I am therefore now able to resume blogging on it.

No explanation has been given as to why the blogspot was locked in the first place; so the reason for the problem will remain a mystery.

I should like to thank all of you who took the trouble to email Blogger / Google in support of me and the blogspot. I would like you all to know how much I appreciate your loyalty and support.

My thanks go to Blogger / Google for restoring this blogspot to full functionality.

So now it’s back to business as usual. This website will revert to its more appropriate subject matter: economics and finance.

Thank you again for your assistance.

Mark
