Earth Hour is practised at large scale in all developed and developing countries but there has been more publicity and awareness this year, as well as participation from large corporations like http://www.commit21.com/ which is a good sign - that there is still hope and that people still care!<BR/><BR/>Let's all do this, no matter where you are!

Just a style tip -- the web lends itself to shorter paragraphs than the printed page. :)donnadbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09580583133757807126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2888409148557901249.post-77657630552752908072009-02-16T22:00:00.000-08:002009-02-16T22:00:00.000-08:00Oh wow.

Two Armageddons so far. <BR/><BR/>Bruce Willis wasn't just cool because he gave his life for the betterment of others - he did it without crying or thinking twice. If he had shown any range of emotion, he wouldn't have been as cool for it.<BR/><BR/>John Q. is an interesting example, but I don't know if it hits the sentiment of Cool Sacrifice on the head. It wasn't just the fact that Rick sacrificed whatever future he had with Ilsa - it was the manner in which he did it. He was cool for brushing it off, not for dwelling on it like John Q. Or do you still feel that John Q. fits the archetype?<BR/><BR/>Good entry!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07331961951316180787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2888409148557901249.post-54594777105105321522009-02-13T08:54:00.000-08:002009-02-13T08:54:00.000-08:00If dad's are so cool then why do so many guys in t...If dad's are so cool then why do so many guys in the poor, black community act like such poor fathers while still trying to be cool in other ways?fjohnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06827891221669580321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2888409148557901249.post-40451607989806046552009-02-11T11:34:00.000-08:002009-02-11T11:34:00.000-08:00I want to see John Q now!

They are typically supposed to be the tough guy, but then they have this soft, devoted side to their families that just can't be described well enough.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06551631107760892914noreply@blogger.com
