I agree with you. I don't think the protestors are 'ruining it for everyone.' They are making people aware of what is going on and if that 'ruins' it for you, maybe you should be doing something to change it so there need to be protests next time.

It's much too easy to say, "I just want to have fun" and ignore what's going on in the world. Everything I do is to promote GLBT rights - even when I'm having 'fun,' writing my stories, I make sure that there is an undercurrent of what is going on in the world.

I don't belive in art for art's sake and I don't believe in taking a break just to have fun. If being aware of the animal cruelty and child labor that occurred just so people could watch the Olympics "ruins" it for you, stop for a moment and think about that. It should tell you something about our culture.
