We will watch at my house. It doesn’t mean as much as it once did, and the hype can be annoying, but I still enjoy the spectacle of the opening ceremonies and the performances of the individual athletes. We watched some of the Olympic trials recently, and the US has some exciting record-setting swimmers.
I don’t think turning off my TV is going to help anyone in China. It is upsetting to see the positive spin provided or implied by a lot of the coverage, but on the other hand, the event is also creating an opportunity for a lot of the truth about China to be reported.
I do hope President Bush will make some strong public statements about human rights.
