Don't worry, Adrenachrome, no-one is infringing on your rights to 'rock out'.

Nor is anyone forcing you to do it. It's not the American way to force someone into something they don't want to do. Rather, the Earth Hour is an event to raise awareness, and is purely voluntary.

Out of interest, do you kick up as much fuss on other days... dress like a pirate day, for example?

"NO! I refuse to be a pirate! If I want to do things out of the goodness of my heart for people, with a nice, posh accent, in a private yacht kitted out with the latest luxuries, in my sailing jacket and tweed, then I should damn well be able to do so if I choose!"?
