My boycott of the 2008 Beijing Olympics
Reading today about the protest in Olympia (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/03/24/AR2008032401127.html) I was reminded that some symbolic, individual acts can make a difference (however slight).
So I will boycott the Beijing 2008 Olympics. I am not an athlete. I am just a sports fan. And one thing is for sure, I will not be turning my TV on during the Olympics. A citizen's boycott if you will.
Furthermore, I would be very curious to hear what our candidates have to say about China's appalling record on human rights. And about their respective positions regarding a boycott.
