Dear George, Probably you didn't realize, like most of your fellow countrymen, that you don't even have or belong to a country. You are the employee and most certainly future slave of an incredibly corrupt corporation. The Land of the Brave, that once truly best country in the world that had, without a single doubt, the best Constitution in the world got pirated in 1871 and became a corporation. That corporation sold what was left of the USA out in 1913 with the Federal Reserve Act and the 16th amendment. Under the last two administrations FEMA built over 600 concentration camps in your wonderful U.S. of A. Guess who for, George? Strange things happening in the country you love so much and you're not even aware... Want to know more then Google for "US" and "corporation" and if you dare "concentration camps" and "FEMA". Enjoy! “We are not exceptionally American – we just love our country.”

Dear George,

Probably you didn’t realize, like most of your fellow countrymen, that you don’t even have or belong to a country. You are the employee and most certainly future slave of an incredibly corrupt corporation. The Land of the Brave, that once truly best country in the world that had, without a single doubt, the best Constitution in the world got pirated in 1871 and became a corporation. That corporation sold what was left of the USA out in 1913 with the Federal Reserve Act and the 16th amendment.

Under the last two administrations FEMA built over 600 concentration camps in your wonderful U.S. of A. Guess who for, George? Strange things happening in the country you love so much and you’re not even aware…

Want to know more then Google for “US” and “corporation” and if you dare “concentration camps” and “FEMA”.

Enjoy!

Mikhail, You are wrong and your theatrics is shallow. We are not exceptionally American - we just love our country. You, however, occupy a strange spot of America basher with a warm spot for Russia. People who didn't achieve much here sometime revert to attacking this unique country. No wonder you wrote once at The Carter Center to an insignificant president who was and is full of loathing this country: "Wishing you much health, family happiness, reaming steadfast in your believes, eloquent expressing them in defense of the persecuted and the weak, a courageous and wise Statesman! With much admiration and gratitude, Mikhail." "Reaming steadfast", "courageous and wise". Really. Your writing style is a combination of anger and philistinism of a narrow-minded, half-educated man. - George “Or is it American exceptionalism – I forget now.
Really!”

Mikhail,

You are wrong and your theatrics is shallow. We are not exceptionally American – we just love our country. You, however, occupy a strange spot of America basher with a warm spot for Russia. People who didn’t achieve much here sometime revert to attacking this unique country. No wonder you wrote once at The Carter Center to an insignificant president who was and is full of loathing this country:

“Wishing you much health, family happiness, reaming steadfast in your believes, eloquent expressing them in defense of the persecuted and the weak, a courageous and wise Statesman! With much admiration and gratitude, Mikhail.”

“Reaming steadfast”, “courageous and wise”. Really.

Your writing style is a combination of anger and philistinism of a narrow-minded, half-educated man.

I thank all those that remind me how much more advanced we are here in the West and what a blessing a warm toilet is, what losers all those that seek work in Russia are, etc… And the stats!!! What is telling, that you guys all need to prove yourself that you still are better than those Russians, right? Or are you now? Good. Keep at it, and hope you all remain exceptionally American.

Awarding games to regions without infrastructure is pure insanity and the IOC keeps doing it anyway. The IOC claims that Olympic games won't be affected by political issues but the reality is quite the opposite. Athletes suffer the most, being used as pawns by the IOC. No athletes equals no games, and without the games the IOC would cease to exist. Perhaps it is time to stop engaging in this tradition simply for the sake of continuing a tradition. Does it really make sense to build massive, limited-use facilities that wreak havoc on local environments and displace many thousands of people? Since when are the Olympics supposed to harm people, besides some of the athletes? I'm sure the average Chinese citizen will be eagerly watching the games in August, if they aren't out looking for rice to put on their tables.
