One of my lefty friends guilted me into not watching the Olympics. He hates it because he thinks sports celebrate competitiveness and discourage compassion and he hates the nationalistic elements because he thinks we should all be citizens of the world. I hate it because I think it symbolizes global bureaucracy and I hate the nationalistic elements because I think the individual should be sovereign.
We both agreed that governments shouldn't be wasting "public" money on an elaborate show that most of the people who actually live there don't even want.
