Yep, I just left downtown... pretty disappointing.
I have a moral conflict here. I LOVE, LOVE the Olympics. It's my excuse for not showering/going outside for two weeks every two years. I went to the Art Gallery all pumped and left crying. Seriously, I couldn't believe the opposition!
This is harsh. Protesters getting arrested, angry environmentalists, native peoples upset that it's taking place on stolen land, people not wanting corporate coruption and infiltration... this was all too much for me because I tend to agree. Why are we spending millions of dollars when there is a serious case of homelessness here?
Bah! I hate being a socialist!
P.S. Thanks Scrambler for starting this thread... this really bothered me.
