http://www.seattlepi.com/news/science/article/Ex-head-of-sailing-body-says-fired-over-Rio-s-6784917.php The Olympic games are going to hold sailing, canoeing, and even some swimming events in a polluted sewer full of garbage, dead animals, and fecal bacteria at levels a thousand times what a sane country would allow to exist. I would say that I am boycotting the Olympics, but I haven't paid any attention to them for a couple of decades already.

The Olympic Games have been in a moral sewer for decades; this is just the venue catching up. And then there's the zika virus.

Hey, I like this. A recognition of reality. Let's choose the contestants among malnourished children whose families have raised them on less than $2 a day in countries ruled by obscenely rich and corrupt repressive oligarchies. Perhaps we can invent events reflecting human life more realistically -- nobody needs to throw a javelin or discus anymore, so how about competitions in dumpster-diving, starvation endurance, innovative corruption... or just plain work?

Some people have better things to do with their lives than walking the dog. Some don't.

I was just reading about the 2002 Olympics, and all the bribery and scandals. Very innovative corruption. And the "white knight" who cleaned up the mess then took millions in campaign donations from the very scoundrels who did the bribing! That's innovation in corruption.

The Hunger Games?

Since I have no expectations of forgiveness, I don't do it in the first place. That loop hole needs to be closed to everyone.
