LOL, spoilers! I read them, I haven't watched the Olympics yet. :D I think I'm not going to get a chance to watch the opening ceremony until tonight anyways...

Eh, I am VERY conflicted about the Olympics. I was very, very disappointed that China did not do much to change their human rights policies...but at the same time, I don't want to boycott the Olympics either because I want to support the U.S. Olympians, and also? The Olympics is just damn cool.

But it does make me angry to see that China spent ALL OF THIS MONEY on the Olympics...and so many people in that country barely have anything. And I'm not one of those Westerners who just harps on about China and their policies...I've actually *been* there, multiple times, and I know how the poorest people live, and it's pretty damn depressing that the majority of the country's wealth is controlled by a tiny, tiny percentage of the population.

And don't even get me started on what happens in hospitals and unborn babies who do not have the right paperwork :(
