I totally agree the Summer Olympics are a different beast and hopefully Calgary would learn from the mistakes of previous games.

I wanted to give my perspective living in a city that hosted a modern Olympics. My wife has a completely different view though. She was around for the party and believes the good times and national pride was well worth the cost.

At least the money was spent on the pinnacle of world sport though, unlike the idiots up on the Gold Coast dumping money down the drain for the lame commonwealth games.
