It is absurd that protestors would disrupt the Olympic torch relay. The story is never kept straight by our mindlessly TV brainwashed society.
On the one hand, people perfunctorily whine about how governments mix politics with sports and that the Olympics should be kept "pure sport."
Then, on the other hand, those same people go out and martyr themselves and protest the running of the torch for fashionable political purposes.
The Olympic Torch, the games, everything to do with any professional sport are financially motivated; therefore politics, whether they be local or international will come into play.
To think that any form of "Big Money Sport" is anything but "Bread and Circuses" for the masses to keep our minds off what really matters is, frankly speaking, naive.
Research the 1936 Olympics in Berlin as to how the torch ceremony came about. This whole thing is used as a politcal tool.
The best action would be to ignore the entire thing... But alas, we can't... After the torch relay problems on the news, there's American Idol that cannot be missed...
Who cares about this nonsense... Millions of Iraqi kids die, Somalia, Congo, etc., etc., Nah, but the fashionable taste of the day is the disruption of the Olympic Torch relay... "Bread and Circuses"... Who cares?
