But how about shocking levels of air pollution, interference in darfur including sales of weapons which contravene international bans, hosting the olympics in a non-democratic society (ancient greece being the birth-place of democracy). ]]>Aug 7th 2008 4:34PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/08/07/ready-to-watch-the-2008-beijing-olympics/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/08/07/ready-to-watch-the-2008-beijing-olympics/Aug 7th 2008 7:28PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/08/07/ready-to-watch-the-2008-beijing-olympics/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/08/07/ready-to-watch-the-2008-beijing-olympics/

"The 1936 Olympics were given to Nazi Germany. And it's amazing they happened, because an black American athlete, Jesse Owens, won 4 Gold medals. A black man showing up a government hell-bent on eugenics.

You don't think that's powerful?"

It is powerful, though the UK, US, Chinese, etc. governments are all hell bent on eugenics now!]]>Aug 8th 2008 6:38AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/08/07/ready-to-watch-the-2008-beijing-olympics/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/08/07/ready-to-watch-the-2008-beijing-olympics/Aug 7th 2008 3:34PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/08/07/ready-to-watch-the-2008-beijing-olympics/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/08/07/ready-to-watch-the-2008-beijing-olympics/
That said, I still can't believe that NBC got conned into using Silverlight, what a cluster!

Are you saying your lives are worth more than Chinese lives? I don't really see your point. I think many, many, many countries use the Olympics to show their country's grandeur. I think that's the bloody point.

I know some buddhist monks who went through hell to get into Tibet from China. They aren't allowed to bring a photo of the Dalai Llama as they enter.

I just hope that many important conversations are going on between the commoners in both nations in Beijing right now.
