It's Olympics time once again. I've always had a deep affection for the athletic endeavors of the Olympics. And yes, an unabashed surge of national pride and spirit, rooting for our American team. From Bruce Jenner and Mark Spitz in 1976, the hockey team in 1980, everything in 1984; Carl Lewis, Edwin Moses, Mary Lou Retton, and so on and so on. I love the Olympics.
Political sub-texts aside (China is still a manifestly repressive society) I hope the games go well and do indeed lead to greater modernization and greater freedoms for this largest (1.3 billion people) of nations.
