Stumble it!Blogs for Snotty Boycotts
posted in Blogs4Bush, Politics, Society by themaiden |You know… the original Olympics served as a time that the Greeks could gather despite their sometimes severe disagreements. They even put hot wars on hold during the games. The quasi-democratic Athenians stopped killing the harshly authoritarian Spartans and visa versa. The concept behind such rules seems ot have been a kind of admission and even celebration of the fact that despite their differences all of the Greeks were still at heart Greek. I’d like to think that some of that spirit remains, though embracing all of humanity and not just the Greeks. Despite our differences, we are all human.
I won’t watch next year’s summer Olympics - it chaffs me to think that for some sick reason, the Olympic committee feels a duty to reward tyrants ever now and then and give them an Olympics to put on. China’s corrupt and increasingly aggressive ruling oligarchy just doesn’t deserve that sort of legitimate event.
