And so it begins....NO NO NO
May London be the last "O" ever!!! Please.
It started with people running in ancient times, ( well men..whoohoo!!) naked and barefoot.
The modern "O" began with countries kindly helping send their reps to other nations to be 'ambassadors' for them..to spread peace and goodwill.
They were 'amateur' atheletes who did their 'training' in their spare time.
They were good natured and naive about the world.
They did their best and came home to a rousing welcome.
Now it is drug infested, commerce invested, trained till they are sick and broken.
They are held up as 'heroes' ( which they certainly are NOT).
They are paid handsomely and are sure of much loot if they drag home a bit of metal.
The country pays for a special 'school' to be opened, a 'university' to train them while our arts and theatre slumber in the dregs of our souls.
Countries who pay millions to just be 'put up' for the next hosts shift their homeless, bury their grubby little secrets, destroy homes, buy out for a pittance those who 'get in the way'. They shut up free speech, they quieten dissenters, they paint on the face of the Olympic whore a mask of well to do and smarmy nationalism.
It is at best a pathetic diversion and at worst commercialism gone mad!
It is dangerous in this day and age to encourage more of the US and THEM mentalities amongst those in the world who are already so self obsessed and full of fervour and lust for their glory.
This little black duck is not having a bar of it...I didn't last time and I won't this time.
Bugger the lot of them!
Enough! Enough! NO MORE!
