I have been to China... and yes some of the people there are very friendly....not all just like here, and yes there are impoverished people there....just like here, but in the same token I also have been to Africa and seen first hand the horrible circumstances there that go way WAY beyond impoverishment or corporate slavery....I could go on but that is not the intent of my thread And I don't begrudge anyone who wants to proudly watch the Olympics.....I just won't be one!
