On boycotts....
Let's boycott! That'll really help the Tibetans. And then when they are free from Chinese rule they'll be able to celebrate that they are priest-ridden ( in this case it should be 'monk'-ridden.) What a great leap forward!
Next we should boycott the winter games in Vancouver in 2010! Why? you ask. Well there is precedent here. Remember the 1980 games in Moscow? Western nations boycotted those games because the USSR had 'invaded' Afghanistan. Actually, they'd been invited in by the 'puppet' regime in Kabul to put down the insurgents.
If this seems familiar well it is. We weren't exactly invited in by the regime in 2002 but we went anyways. And now we have our puppets in there and we are battling the insurgents. So seriously for the same reasons that we boycotted Moscow in 1980 we should boycott Vancouver in 2010 and I expect Canada to be the first in line!
