Edit: Joking about taking his lights...........but not about his vacations. Always seemed to have plenty of time and money to take his family on never ending vacations.

For the OP, I see lots of blue and green lights around my neighborhood. I enjoy seeing them.

Around here a blue light for the month of April was for Autism awareness month.

Run green lights on the porch and white on the garage

I would rather support them in another way than just putting blue lights. It’s kind of like facebook activism. Changing your profile picture does nothing.

It's capitalism. Someone came up with a way to get people to buy colored light bulbs (and the blue line flags).

Love the red lights if you don't like guns. Duh...

+1

I'll also add, respect is earned. And with so many thug cops out there that can't control themselves, it'll take a while to regain a lot of my support.

I will add my thoughts which you may or may not like.

Add to this the much overused term of Hero. Of course we can thank the media for all this nonsense.


Where else can you make $55.00 a extra month and get to kill as many as possible.

I haven't been around that long, but what did people do 50 years ago? 100? 200? I have a feeling that they didn't go around with yellow ribbons on their bumpers or flags of all stripes on their porches. Now I know they didn't just treat everyone equally well (cough racism cough) but I'm just not sure that our predecessors felt a need to advertise their support of people doing their jobs/living their lives/going about their business/whatever.

Maybe I'm wrong but this feels kinda like a participation prize. Everyone wins. Everyone is special. Won't be long before everyone has their own color light bulb, else someone might get overlooked.

And no, I hadn't heard of this. This is what I get for not watching the news or having a Facebook page I guess.

In year 2020, don't be surprised if the media will try to push displaying a blue or red light bulb depending on your political beliefs.

 

[Yah-Tah-Hey]

We appreciate our law enforcement and rescue members but sticking with plain ol plain ol bulbs. Replace with LEDs when necessary.

But we have to march for hunger and shave our heads for peace! We need to have gala events for cancer and run a marathon for childhood lyphoma. What are we really doing, as a society, if we cannot wear a trinket in honour of past genocides or wear pink for pediatric brain tumors (specifically). If we can't have a bubble bath for human rights, what are we really doing for the world?!
