2. Very powerful...I wish I knew what they were saying though...
...and the captions as well...Still...amazingly powerful...

I think that the fact that China has the games is the final nail in the coffin of the idea that the IOC is an apolitical body, and the Olympic Ideal is well and truly dead...

I have a very hard time "celebrating" these games in a country that is run by tyrants...

3. Didn't China request that the olympians from other countries ...
...sign waivers indicating that they would not protest in dress or jesture?

If the Rethugs had their way don't think that they wouldn't do the same in America as the "Communist" Chinese do.
