Political Correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd or stick of dynamite by the safe end. - unknown

Gun Control: The theory that a woman found dead in an alley, raped and strangled with her own pantyhose, is somehow morally superior to a woman explaining to police

how her attacker got that fatal bullet wound.

$182,000

That's the estimated cost of security for each athlete and official at the upcoming 2010 Olympic Winter Games.

Original estimates for security were $175 million.  Now that the games are upon us, that cost has ballooned to $1 billion to protect 5,500 participants.  Think about it.  If that same number were applied to the entire U.S. population per annum the cost would be, are you ready for this - $54.6 trillion.  And that cost would be for one year.

In a "new" world where everyone wants some form of change be it Cap and Trade, carbon sequestration, eliminating whale hunting, greener energy solutions or some other form of mass social reordering, it's seems it is time to move on from world wide amateur athletic competition.
