In Response To: Olympic boycott! (Iain Douglas)

I agree w/ Mark Davis and Bob Lonsberry --
China (PRC, not the people) is evil, and the IOC was an ass to choose them...
BUT DON'T PUNISH THE ATHLETES!!
The Olympics are about overlooking our differences to enjoy some great sports.
Protest all you want -- I think the torch run fiascos are great -- but give the innocent athletes a chance to strive for all they've been working for.
Boycott? Same answer as should America have elected Jimmy Carter -- HELL NO!!
