After visiting Tibet last month I can understand the protest! I only wish I could have been there too!

Two simple statements: 1. The torch should not come here. 2. The Olympic games should all be played in the nude, just like they used to do in the old days. [TV viewership would sure flop up and down, depending on the particular game.]

Where Matt? This is a perfect opportunity for the Cranky Old Anti-Everything Party.

Oh, please. Doesn't anyone care that nobody makes sacrifice to Zeus during these games anymore?

Think Falun Gong will be out there protesting too?

"The Chinese government is running the Olympic torch around the world, hoping to win the approval of the global public and cover up its brutal occupation of Tibet and abysmal human rights record." Actually, I think they're running the torch around the world because, you know, they run the torch every time the olympics start. I do feel for the Tibetans though. They're like the Mumia Abu-Jamal of Asia.
