re: #101 Fenway_Nation

Apparently they do light it up for just about anything.

Quick quiz: Which one of these organizations is directly responsible for the deaths of millions?

A) The US Tennis Association
B) The Cat Fancier’s Association
C) The Alzheimers Association Memory Walk
D) The Communist Party of China

China. like it or not, is one of our allies. It’s also a major world historical event that’s being commemorated.
Islam, like it or not, is one of the major world religions.

I don’t have an issue with this. If people are upset over the commemoration of China, I suggest they pour that energy into political activism demanding that the Obama admin recognise China’s human rights abuses— rather than being angry about the colour of the lights on the ESB.

One is a worthy political endeavour; the other is a Faux News—Malkin—Beck style bullshit freakout of the day.
