Torch Relay for the Beijing Olympics.

[RICHARD]

At the SLC torch run I remember a woman walking up to me while I was standing at near the stage.

SHe was protesting the treatment of the horses that were used in the equestrian events.

I really wanted to tell her to eff off but I caught myself and I think her also, off guard.

I smiled and said to her something like, "No thanks, You are talking to a real fan of the Games....."

She smiled and walked away. I felt pretty good because I didn't treat her with the usual way I deal with people that walk around with agendas and flyers they pass out that end up as litter on the ground.

I guess that as long as there is a cause, people will protest.

The torch made it's way to Islamabad where it would not be paraded in public due to security concerns.


why bother?
