Christmas Lighting in Abundance

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the tan-don't-burn dept.

gral writes "My boss really gets into setting up Christmas lights. He has been interviewed by a couple TV stations, because of his displays. He usually has them setup at his house. This year he has moved to a Church Yard for more space. For 2003, his display sports over 200,000 lights, each string is controlled by computer to light to the tune of a Radio Station playing christmas music. Check out his website at Planet Christmas. Some pictures of this year's display can be seen as well. Have fun and Happy Holidays."

    They've just raised the national terror alert level to ORANGE. YES, ORANGE! Orange means high, by the way, or 4 out of 5 on the chart.

      And it's also because they want to change the color to red by Christmas -- red being a Christmas color and also the official color of Coca Cola, but Coca Cola is the official Christmas beverage -- but they can only raise it gradually, not two levels at once.

    There is no greater insult to one's religion than to use it to justify violence.

    unless your religion advocates it

    > them arabs usally advocate it.

    After havign been invaded for about a milenium by christians you mean?

    Christianity so far has a lot more deaths on its name then islam, and we can have a few 1000 9/11 events to have them get anywhere close.

    Also, being arab is not a religion. THere are chrostian and buhdist arabs, and also muslim ones (the large majority)

    In some twisted way this allways comes as a suprise to me, but you actually don't have a clue what's on stake here do you?

    The enviro-hippies have gotten to you.

    No, i just had a brush with reality. Maybe you should take a look at it instead of Bush's "enviomental" policy.

    Jeez, who cares. It's his money to spend. If he wants to put 200kW of heating elements in his yard so people admire the pretty red glow, that's his perogative; he's the one paying for the power.

    Is this a joke, or are you so narrow-minded that you only se $$$ in all this? There is a bigger picture you know, end when the shit hits the fan you actually can't just hand over some cash and restet the environment. Some day we have face the consequences of our actions.

    I'm so tired of all this "reduce reuse recycle" propoganda crap.

    I could not care less if you don't want to listen to the truth or not, as long as you act responsibly. There a many levels between stoneage and this waste, and one of them is NEED. You don't NEED to artificially flambe your house to live in relative comfort! There is no need to take to the extrems in either direction.

    be my guest but stop dictating what others can and cannot do

    No, I will not since this affects me and my children etc. Just use common sense... if you have any. They do have some form of education where you live right?
