I think an Olympics boycott would be hypocritical as world politics now stand.

Make it part of a larger package of official disapproval and punishment and then I'd be more open to it.

If China is an evil that needs to be ostracized, start by telling Wal-Mart, Coca-Cola, Google, and Ford that they can't go to China. Telling a 14-year-old rhythmic gymnast that she can't go seems a silly place to start.

But if any athletes/coaches/etc. decide that they can't, in good conscience attend then they have my respect.

For now, Lani and I have stopped planning a 2009 China trip we had in the penciled in stages.
