[QUOTE="AA7"]So what, you want me to extend the earth's lifetime by 5 minutes? If everyone turned off their computers at night, really, overall, what difference would it make. The planet is screwed, we could, at best, extend its existence by a few years. People like you are the problem. You promise lofty solutions, with no hope for action. You would be better to take a Nihilist approach and just not give a damn, rather than making claims that you will never truly support. And PS, by stating that you are the "Most intelligent", you prove the exact opposite. Good luck in you pursuits.

Apparently you've never heard of cumulative effect, nor do you seem to understand that electronics consume electricity, the production of which depends mostly on the consumption of fossil fuels. You as an individual won't make a big difference... but hundreds of millions of individuals doing nothing more than being conscious of un-necessary electricity usage will make a difference. Less power consumed = less pollution, and regardless of whether it will affect the lifespan of the Earth on a cosmological scale (which it obviously won't), a significant reduction in pollution will provide vast benefits to our quality of life, because we will be breathing cleaner air, drinking cleaner water, losing less crop output and parkland to acid rain, and so forth.
And if the only thing that appeals to selfish little you is selfish gain, think of it this way - less power consumption = lower utility bills, and less driving = less money spent on gas. So you can fritter it away on some other junk you don't need instead.
Well, thanks for the lesson professor. Im not reading your propaganda. Believe what you will, but when you tell me about the action, the revolution that you are trying to start, and stop acting like you are superior to all of us by adding big words and terminology into your lectures, then perhaps ill listen. But for now, go back to doing whatever it is you do, im fairly sure it has something to do with being selfish and caring for your apparent intelegence more than you do anyone else in you life. Please do not respond to this, I am not in the mood to fight with someone who has never admited that he was wrong, or someone who is a self deceptive liar.
