I personally don't, but the majority of people watch the games.<br />Nothing is gonna change in the near future, but we should express our opinion and be true to it, and teach our kids to do so. And some day the world will see the change.

Also, the elites want big events because they own the companies that get the building contracts. Its a problem a lot of developing countries have. They prefer big prestige projects over more modest but effective programs such as land distrubution for poor farmers on the countryside. Instead they invest in big projects in the cities, drawing the poor in from the neglected countryside. Then the countryside is left empty, and the slums run full. Its a problem they have to combat, the international community should pressure and expose them. Not watching the games would be a good way, if no one would watch it would send a powerful signal. I guess Im not strong enough or I think I alone cant make a difference, as Im watching now, also the commercials. Dare to Dreamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16285379491466848333noreply@blogger.com
