But of course, many will not remember given the incredible expense unspared to produce such beautiful pictures. Some of us, remember Darfur and Tibet though, and the myriad other offenses. Nobody mentioned the environmental disaster China is fostering either.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2286321024842109960.post-17246420060635290662008-08-09T16:03:00.000-04:002008-08-09T16:03:00.000-04:00I followed the link in your post and read the arti...I followed the link in your post and read the article, RWP. Unfortunately, I don't think the writer has exaggerated at all.<BR/><BR/>On another blog I visited this morning, the writer had wondered how much the Olympic opening ceremonies cost. My acerbic reply was that it was more than likely paid for entirely by the profits made on sales to Wal-Mart; it's almost impossible to find anything in their stores that isn't made in China. I may have cut off my nose to spite my face but I no longer shop at the local Wal-Mart Super Center. I'm paying the (increased) price, of course, but it's what I choose to do. (I'm sure they sorely miss my paltry contribution to their coffers... not!) And..how much is ABC paying the Chinese for the TV rights? <BR/><BR/>End of rant!Pat - Arkansashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11623638376731374600noreply@blogger.com
