Turn Off the Lights

On March 16 my wife and I were driving in West Los Angeles along Wilshire Boulevard around 8 p.m. On passing the Federal Building near Sepulveda Boulevard, we could not help but notice the brightness of the building due to every darn light in the building being illuminated. Either there were a lot of federal employees working late into the night (yeah, sure) or all those state and common-sense) admonitions about conservation simply do not apply to government buildings.

Can this be possible? I thought conservation was the responsibility of all the people.
