How many people does it take...


I was just thinking to myself, in all this commercialised Christmas carnage, that Christmas lights (although symbolic and beautiful) are a complete waste of our resources. In these times of energy conservation and warnings or climate change and Environmental disasters that we should be looking at what is best for today's societies to function and cutting the little frills off the ends to reduce the load.
You cannot include things such as televisions, computers or radios, because that is where most of our information comes from (sadly). However things such as Chrismas lights, dancing santas and all the other crap that drains the juice from the power plants. I'm not saying that all lights should be banned, I'm just saying that there should be a restraint on how many you are allowed. I mean, people could say that fireworks are a waste of money, but what else could that explosive powder be used for? There are better uses for our electricity, but it's when it's no longer here that we realise this.
