[meat]

It's a shame that there are so many idiot protesters out there attacking a world event like the Olympics. An event that is to bring us all together as a people of a planet to cheer for athletes who have given up so much to get to the position where they can represent their country at a sporting event.

While I'm not all that much of a sports guy, and the Olympics will probably interrupt My Name Is Earl, How I Met Your Mother, Two And A Half Men and Family Guy, I still root for the home team, and passingly note how many medals which country has won.

The arrogance of some who would choose to turn this into some kind of vitriolic political sh!t storm shows that there are some that don't learn much from history. The more they attack and protest, the greater the number of people they alienate.

There was a time when I may have cared what happened to Tibet. Now, I truly don't. If the Chinese leveled the landlocked country and built condos or a nice automotive plant, it'd be just fine by me at this point. And, apparently, I'm not alone; interviews with bystanders seem to echo this same sentiment.

Your pal,
Meat.
