The Chinese are going to come out of these Olympics looking exactly as they should. Filthy environment, poor treatment of foreign spectators, blatant censorship of respected news outlets like the BBC...there is nothing to celebrate at these Olympics. The PRC is an embarrassment to humanity, and Beijing 2008 will make…

I can't help but think that there's a different agenda here. The folks in Kyoto etc. must know there are more obvious targets for greenhouse gas emission cuts. So what's their real reason for going after convenience stores? Something to do with the youth who frequent them in the wee…
