The chaos created in San Fransisco by the 2008 Olympic torch relay is symbolic of the current state of affairs the world is facing. Since China is running the show, little to none information is given to the media, and access is highly controlled and filtered. Plus the majority of the world is scared to say anything in fear of financial retribution.

 

What are we going to do?

 

One thing us consumer can do is buy safe American products, and not watch the broadcast of the Olympic Games on TV. Show the sponsers and broadcast outlets that we will not tolerate China's lack of personal freedoms, and human rights abuses.
