Attitude removed
We got a rare chance to watch the sanitizing of this editorial. While the original took a little attitude towards those foolish residents, this new one makes sure to change the language to something just plain stupid. In particular, this:
The Neighbors of Memorial Stadium act as if the lights would be on constantly, asking "what else" we’d be doing that would require permanent lights. They seem to forget that there exist things called "On/Off" switches, to be used between games. Just because the poles are standing doesn’t mean the bulbs are always on.
became this:
The Neighbors of Memorial Stadium act as if the lights would be on constantly, asking “what else” we’d be doing that would require permanent lights. This is illogical, to say the least—the UC knows the importance of saving energy as much as the rest of California. Just because the poles are standing doesn’t mean the bulbs will always be on.
It's illogical, eh? The Vulcans would be proud.
