I actually haven't been following this all that much... but the fact it even got doused is a very bad sign. o.o

If there is a protest in the Detroit area, I am there. The situation in Tibet is horrendous and the fact that China denounced Bush (uh... again) for speaking with the Dahli Lama (sp?) is ridiculous.

And I would go and protest their working conditions, air quality, political movements (athletes not being allowed to blog and countries having to threaten athletes with lifetime bans from the Olympics for speaking out about China's government is... insane)

So yeah. If anyone hears of a protest near Detroit, let me know. I'll make a sign and go down there.

It's interesting now that how they've hidden the torch for the San Fransisco route...I'd expect better of the organizers..it really has bewildered the supporters.

Ya! And also, it is a bad sign of political oppression.

I've never liked China's ethnic policies. Killing dolphins and dogs for food the way they do is really sad. Also I read something about how they started rounding up all stray cats, and even buying some cats from their owners to be put down (inhumanly of course), as an attempt to pretty up the city for the Olympics.

And in latest news, they are shutting down all factories to clean up the air.
