No, we are the people who will have to make political protest inside Freedom Cages far from observation.
China's got us beat ... but only by degree.

I like all the things about the Olympics that €uro does, and i agree with Alex that the ceremonies would be far, far and far better live. But i remember when the Winter Olympics came to Utah, the opening and closing ceremonies were way beyond my means.
So i content myself with TV as a poor man's substitute. I can tolerate it ... but what I cannot stomach is being told what I'm about to see in 10 seconds throughout the entire 4 hours of the ceremony. Gak.
