A shame about Brian McGrory's color blindness

Yes, it's awful what gun violence is doing to Boston (mercy, I had to find another way home tonight because of it). And yeah, City Councilor John Tobin's proposal for a city poet laureate is probably not real high on the quality-of-life meter. But, dearest Bri, just because you are unable to hold two thoughts in your head at one time and so see everything in black and white does not mean that John Tobin doesn't want to do something about violence - or that the city shouldn't renovate the Strand Theater. Then again, you're probably saving this all-or-nothing rhetoric for the next time you have 15 minutes to write a column: How can John Tobin push for a city poet when so many Boston kids are dropping out? How can John Tobin push for a city poet when so many city sidewalks go unplowed?
