How could you ...Mike san, you forgot the jingoism. How could you forget the jingoism when you talk about the Olympics. U-S-A U-S-A . The ruling party bosses love jingoism, love encouraging people to hate the bad guys and love the good guys (good guys = people who work for the ruling party bosses).<br /><br />The Olympics is nothing but a bad socialistic scheme for corrupt party bosses and their fellow gang members to fleece the general public.<br /><br />The Olympics WILL MAKE MONEY, I guarantee it. Just that it will be ONLY be the well connected with political pull who will take the gold, silver, and bronze. Everyone else will be a loser.Andy "In Japan"https://www.blogger.com/profile/04505038501136945817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2207076947655236975.post-7202319326244821522013-09-09T15:44:44.207+09:002013-09-09T15:44:44.207+09:00Do not forget that the 1984,1996 and, 2002 Olympic...Do not forget that the 1984,1996 and, 2002 Olympics happened during very good economic times in booming parts of the US when consumer spending was high. <br /><br />If TEPCO is a sponsor I wonder what the type of image that will bring to the games? <br /><br />Just have the ceremonies and major sports during the midday hours to solve the time zone problems.Aaron Moserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05559493175880234576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2207076947655236975.post-13573104801639417352013-09-09T15:16:11.840+09:002013-09-09T15:16:11.840+09:00Mike, I think you're right on track, unfortuna...Mike, I think you're right on track, unfortunately. The Olympics will be used as an excuse to raise peoples' spirits and dole out construction contracts and throw a lot of money around, and then we taxpayers will get hit during, after, and maybe before to pay for it. My kids will be old enough to go see some events so we'll try to enjoy it as best we can, though. :-/Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03875665895670908529noreply@blogger.com
