Cancel the Olympics

The Olympics must be the most immoral event in the world right now.  Beijing are about to hold it and despite the clampdown in Tibet (estimated 40 dead, but who knows?), a load of British athletes want to run around London with the torch and bang on about how the Olympic spirit and how the games bring the people of teh world together.  What a crock!  It's just a elistist even for particpants in minority sports no one watches nor cares about.  

Maybe one of these athletes shoudl stand up and say lives are more important than a gold plated medal.  At least one athlete did eventually see the merits of it; perhaps a few more can follow his lead. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muhammad_Ali#Amateur_career.3B_Olympic_gold

I normally like watching the Olympics, but not this year.  Although the Dalai Lama says don't boycott, I just cannot bring myself to.  It is immoral, I agree.  I was always behind the sports people and entertainers who wouldn't go to South Africa because of the apartheid and just cannot help but follow my instincts.  Boycotting does work.
