Lights Survive Earth Hour

 Well, as everyone knows, today is Earth Day, and ever since a couple years ago, Earth Hour is today as well. 

Supposedly every major city (or participating cities) are supposed to turn off their lights for an hour to set an example to the rest of the world and save energy. 

Well, expecting a pitch dark city at 9:00 p.m. tonight, I waited and waited, only to see the noxious yellow glow in the sky remain in my neighborhood in Santa Clara. My family had some friends over and we ate dinner earlier at Milbrae around 8:30 as well, and even there the buzz of street lamps filled the air. 

Agh, the lights.... dizzy

Without the light pollution, tonight one might have been able to see stars in the sky. But since Santa Clara apparently is not green, it chose to waste that energy, no participation.

I guess I would understand though, Santa Clara is not exactly the safest place, I think I actually saw a gang gather in the park, and there are some retarded gangster wannabes that swear and drink sometimes near my house at midnight. Not only that, I hear gunshots in the distance sometimes and motorcycles racing. Exciting. I guess a riot would start and people would start stealing everything. Even then though, it would be kinda fun. 

In the end I describe this day in one word: DISSAPOINTMENT
