It all sickens me, and if humans could be more responsible across the globe, this wouldn't have to happen.

But in reality, those athletes didn't have anything to do with the Greek government's decision, so I plan to support them by watching and enjoying.
I have to ditto that.

My family always got excited about the Olympics when I was growing up. I'm sure I'll watch the opening and closing ceremonies (I have a lucky aunt and uncle who are in Greece as I type this and will be attending the Opening Ceremonies [they're celebrating their 50th anniversary]... I'm very jealous ). I'm sure I'll watch other events off and on. I'm a bigger fan of the Winter Olympics and cannot wait until they're in Vancouver, BC in 2010. I'm definitely getting tickets to see an event live
