There REALLY needs to be a certain point where people can just do stuff for the sheer enjoyment of doing it. At some point, politics and political beliefs need to be eliminated from one's point of view of what is good, right and enjoyable to all human kind. Congressmen Wolf (R-VA) and Smith (R-NJ) (among others) want President Bush to BOYCOTT THE BEIJING OLYMPICS!! *****BLANK STARE******
Are you serious?????

Now, maybe my historical memory isn't as sharp as it used to be, but hasnt' the world known about the problems and issues with Chinese's human rights violations, etc for decades now! Wasn't any of this stuff brought up when Beijing was considered as the location? Seriously! How are you going to wait until approximately one month before the Games are supposed to start? After we Americans have seen a glimpse of what records could possibly be broken in Track & Field!! After athletes from all around the country have been sweating, working, slaving, starving, etc. to make it to this point -SOMETHING THAT ONLY HAPPENS ONCE EVERY FOUR YEARS! Now, you want to boycott!!!! Now don't get me wrong, I am not saying that I don't somewhat understand the concept, but really - could your timing suck any worse?!!!! You didn't think about this when folks kept blocking and taking the TORCH!!!
I wonder if McCain and Obama will weigh in on this?
An athlete that was a part of the 1980 team, that boycotted the Moscow Olympics agrees with my sentiments of this boycotting foolishness at this point! Read more -http://afp.google.com/article/ALeqM5iu-GSwEv1ADRH5ZtY2vqDFzUy7rg
Congressmen Wolf and Smith, for potentially setting off something that could dash the hopes, dreams and aspirations of hundreds of Americans - YOU SIRS, ARE UNSAVORY!!!!!
