Olympic Protest: Light a Candle for Tibet
Tonight, at 9PM in your time zone, light a candle in protest for Tibet. The Olympics begin tomorrow, and this year’s games in Beijing have already caused a stir. Of course, many feel that awarding the games to China, with their refusal to address human rights and dignity issues, amounts to a reward. Should an international organization, intended to perpetuate goodwill, dignify inhumanity by holding such an event in such an offending country. I would say, “No.” In fact, I do. I’m not saying I won’t support our teams, but I’m not so likely to watch, as I normally would. Many people won’t watch at all.
Whether you watch, I hope you’ll light a candle tonight.
