To Beijing or Not to Beijing
Well, the man and I were in the car this morning discussing recent events surrounding the Beijing Olympics and China's general assholery when it comes to Tibet. Well, as much as I want to be all "LET'S BOYCOTT", I can't. And here's why.
The Olympic games, fundamentally, have served as the "Great Whip 'Em Out On the Table" for millennia. By it's very nature, it is designed to be the place where nations metaphorically "settle their differences." It's where everyone "Takes it Outside."
In short, by Ancient Greek standards, it could be argued that to boycott the Games means you're too much of a pussy to settle it in the ring, so to speak.
So...while my heart says "What the fuck was the Olympic committee thinking allowing Beijing to host...AND turning a blind eye to what some are calling what happened on March 10 Genocide?"
I have to say, well:
"Take it outside, world, and take some comfort when China gets it's ass handed to it by everyone else. Except in Gymnastics. They always kick ass at gymnastics."
