Lights Out Off, Olympics Flame On

I supported the lights out campaign today and switched off lights at home at 8:00pm... I looked out my window and waited... but nothing happened. Not even a single light went off from my view. Rather disheartening to a certain degree, but not unexpected. It is not easy to remember... if without the reminder from the TVB programme, I would probably have missed it too.

At the same time, the event for 2-year countdown for Olympics in Hong Kong was held. Which I find rather interesting coincidence... as the Olympic flame was lit not far from that time.

With the Chief Executive refusing to participate in the bottom-up lights out activity and the government fully embracing the Beijing directed olympics countdown event, what signs may be emerging for the countdown to 2008 for HK? The Legco did participate in the lights out today... what might be in store come 2008?
