The torch
Should it be run in San Francisco? Tonight’s news said partially in honor of the Chinese community? Give me a break. What the hell do they have to do with the Olympics?
Consider . . .
• First, “everything is political” - Thomas Mann
• Second, do we honor the training and sacrificing of the athletics over some poor misfortunate imprisoned in China?
• SF Mayor’s naivety in thinking protests will be peaceful
• Check out the guys (thugs) in the blue running suits, Chinese paramilitary
Lastly and most important to the entire flame issue. The Olympic flame has nothing to do with the ancient games. The flame concept was introduced in the 1936 Olympics by the Nazi’s. The first one was carried by a blonde, blue eyed member of the perfect race.
We don’t need the flame. Put it out.
