ORN-O Day of Action Against the Olympics

In the early 1950s, the DuMont internet phone service Television Network began the modern trend of selling advertisement time to multiple sponsors. Previously, DuMont had trouble finding sponsors for many of their programs and compensated by selling smaller merchant account blocks of advertising time to several businesses. This eventually became the standard for the commercial television industry in the United States. However, it was still a common practice to have single sponsor high speed internet service shows, such as The United States Steel Hour. In some instances the sponsors exercised great control over the content of the show - up to and including having one's advertising agency actually writing the show. The single sponsor model is much hard drive recovery less prevalent now, a notable exception being the Hallmark Hall of Fame.

I understand that AW@L is anti war. I do understand the hardships of the people of Vancouver having to deal with instant and temporary inflation. Truth is, Vancouver, along with other cities, hope to win an Olympic bid, to make a fast dollar. The only way stop this from happening every 2 years is to push for a central site, which will get the Olympics every year. One for winter, One for summer. I suggest Switzerland for winter games for obvious reasons, and Athens for Summer Games(they should get it, right?). There could be a permanent Olympic village, a community of experts to run the facility, and a year round practice facility for athletes. Now that there is no cold war, I think the public cares less and less about the Olympics, and personally I could care less who is the better skier or swimmer. Canada still has the best potential as a country regardless how many medals we win at the games.

The only way to stop this Capitalist rat race is to take the money from the hands of the greedy pigs who impose there will for more profits, worldwide. Good luck unless you intend on using force. Even the first inkling of 5th generation society behavior, (The Olympics), has become a beacon of economic tyranny. To become a global community with a common goal, you need to take selfish ambition out of the equation.

The only practical solution to every problem like this is to find a way for them to still make money that we agree with. Unfortunately,they don't have to listen.

I think it is a great thing when people stand for a change and choose to want a better world to live in. I also think it is great when people find a CONSTRUCTIVE & PRODUCTIVE way to make change

It is however, shameful when people take matters into their own hands and "blindly follow" a leader who riles up his minions to do his bidding - leading off the fodder to fall while the leader takes the least risk.

It is great to want to make a better world - take a close look at yourself and everyone else around you before you condemn strangers - my professor once said "don't take my word for it, go find out for yourself"

So I ask, where will you be in 5 years?? Who will you work for? What will you be linked to for all the world to judge? Are you here to make a difference or just complain about injustice? We can always find injustice in our world and being obnoxious doesn't always fix it.

Or will you just blindly follow the leader??
Go Hitler!!!
