Last I checked, both Afghanistan and Iraq had teams participating at
the Olympics for the first time in many years, and the first time ever
free of the threat of torture as punishment for poor performance. 

"Those who would trade some degree of liberty for greater security
deserve neither liberty, nor security." - Benjamin Franklin

I'd rather live in a dangerous but free world than one that is safe but
unfree. "Live free or die" as the saying goes.

I'd also suggest that Greece would have had to spend less on security
if they'd not been a clusterfuck up until a year before the event, and
been threatened by the IOC with revokation of the games. "Proper Prior
Planning Prevents Piss Poor Performance" as my first sergeant once
said.

Oh, and they still couldn't keep the crowning event, the marathon, from
being bunged up by a crazed defrocked priest who abducted the leading
runner off the course. Poor fellow only came in 3rd after that. Just
goes to show that even in a totally fascist state, you can never have
perfect security...

"The world doesn't need people like you"???? Is that some sort of
threat? Beg to differ, and not to toot my own horn, but I've likely
saved more lives directly, done more good for the environment through
my inventions, and helped to expand liberty for more people in this
world than you could ever dream of, and I will continue to do the same
into the future. While dummies like you like to yak, people like me
act, and make a difference. Performance art never ended a war, stopped
a genocide, saved a life, created liberty, or started a revolution,
unless you count actually doing those things as performance art. If you
do, I am an A-lister... so thanks anyways for your criticism, but I get
plenty of rave reviews. Ta ta.
