They are so stupid...I swear there is too many people here that protest for the sake of protesting. There is less than a thousand of them and their disposable porition of their tax dollars has been spent on affordable housing/social services. I, like millions in the lower mainland paid taxes too and want my disposable tax dollars allocated to the Olympics. I am so tired of a minority trying to allocate a disproportionate amount of tax dollars to their cause.
Disclaimer: By no means does this mean that I am against tax dollars going to affordable housing/education etc. But I also believe that the Olympic committee has done an excellent job of meeting their promises and helped many maintain employment (or provided an opportunity for employment) during last years recession.
