So, Earth Hour is about keeping lights off...

...so why are so many people now saying that keeping your lights on is the better idea? This is an idea that appears to have originated with the Objectivists. That, by itself, is a good reason to be very skeptical and just about reject it out of hand.

Turn off the lights. Take the opportunity to prove a point. Don't derail a good concept simply because you have a crummy attitude that causes you to rebel against anything that isn't based on selfishness. I have been there. I have done that. It doesn't prove anything, beyond you being an asshole.
