In conflicting image theater, office offered jeans day if you wore green... and was handing out fruit in the lobby, including humongous piles of oranges. *facepalm*
Catholic minority here hasn't oppressed the fuck out of the Protestants, for one thing.
The closest thing we could have is some kind of re-enactment of Guy Fawkes' Day, if someone would scrub DC off the face of the nation, so the narrowly entrenched power base that fucks over the majority...
Who the hell am I kidding? Never, politically, is a spade called a spade.
I shall defer to @BillCorbett of twitter:

I remember wearing orange once in junior high just to be contrary ~ of course in the place I was living in at the time, absolutely nobody made the connection. Had I been living in Boston at the time, I think the odds would have been *slightly* higher!
See now...if you READ the All Users email you'd see that the folks over there are trying to give out healthy treats instead of green cookies/doughnuts.

I mean, I wear green on St. Patrick's Day, but given my ancestry, it would really be more appropriate to boycott it & wear all orange.
But I try to leave these conflicts in the old country.
