In message , Neil Harrington writes It takes a crony-filled White House to raise a Chicago Olympic village. Daley and Obama will get the glory. America will get stuck with the bill. Can't argue with that! Blair did the same for the UK :-( Most of the UK was hoping Paris would get it. :-) I have no idea why governments fight for the Olympics. I wish it would go away. I feel the same way exactly. Most thinking people do. Particularly in the current climate. The Ancient Olympics was in fact a test of military skill in those days Shot-put Javelin sword hammer archery were all weapons of war wrestling horsemanship running swimming were all skills required of most military people In any event the modern Olympics was supposed to be amateur... which it is in name only these days. No real amateur stands a chance. Time to stop the whole farce. I feel sorry for who ever gets it next. London may go some way to helping the demise. Nothing will be as spectacular as the Chinese Olympics. That could only have been achieved in a totalitarian state. Also I think the Brits are luke warm on the idea anyway, well apart from the competitors and their families and clubs. Most of the population are not that bothered. My worry is I am only 25 miles from Birmingham and the US track and field team are going to be based there making both Birmingham and London major terrorist targets. Either the policing will be so tight the local people in Birmingham and London will get very ****ed off or there is a good chance of a terrorist strike. Either way it does not look good for the Olympics. In China they could do a total lock down with no problems. In the UK you would have major problems trying to do it. We prefer freedom and the risk of getting blown up more than a safe police state. We had that during the Irish troubles and chose to risk the bombs. Hopefully a dismal London Olympics (especially after China) will make the next 2016 people scale it back and think twice. -- \/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ \/\/\/\/\ Chris Hills Staffs England /\/\/\/\/ \/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/ |

You have your Net Kooks "Terrorusm" newsgroup as an early warning system, all your pub mates have inside knowledge of everything that goes on, and you are a trained anti-terrorist secret agent. What, though, if the early warning comes on Fox News? You still haven't admitted whether or not you've ever watch that channel or have access to it. -- Tony Cooper - Orlando, Florida |

news:2009100104593315668-savageduck@REMOVESPAMmecom: That would be the same as one of them wearing an "Official" Olympic Omega timepiece, and the other hedging the bet by wearing a Rolex, and having a Seiko in the wings as an understudy. or wearing adidas on one foot, nike on the other, and keeping a reebok sock stuffed close to the third foot :-) |
