[ale] [OT] [OBNOXIOUS-HTML] Odd WTF question

[Jim Kinney]

somewhere in DeKalb county is a library with a gray brick exterior and the
lettering identifying the building and it's address are in metal but the
exact same color as the brick behind it. So the only way to see it is to
read through a texture change! The building is very nice (almost all of the
library buildings in DeKalb county are very architecturally pleasing) but
some idiot didn't think a decent contrast change for the signage was worth
it. And the tone of gray used for the brick would prohibit any color from
being good contrast without neon.

As long as the general population is passive, apathetic, diverted to
consumerism or hatred of the vulnerable, then the powerful can do as they
please, and those who survive will be left to contemplate the outcome.
