...and Taco Bell, and Long John Silver, and KFC, and McDonalds, and Pizza Hut...

Here's why America really won't boycott the Olympics: (...not that this country was ever the true shining jewel of democracy to start with.)

All the companies listed above are opening businesses, if not already in China like most other corporations since forever. But the thing is this, after knowing full well what the chinese goverment does to Tibet and other neighbors, there's no freaking way I'll be funding them any further. PERIOD! Because you know money will be funneled into the military and goverment regimes to do to the Tibetans what the " American settlers" did to the natives. The downside is what isn't "made china" nowadays...so one way or another their goverment will still profit off everybody else.

Now while I'm sure they're not losing sleep over missing my dollars, but I think it's a step in the right direction, when there are clearly identified companies you can say no to because more than shady business ethics (don't even get me started on Wal-Fart...uh, I mean Wal-Mart, . Screw the companies and their shareholders. I was thinking about possibly watching the olympics to see if anyone has the guts to actually mount a protest, but I'll just check the internet and or newspaper instead.

Sorry normally I don't get all social political here but, finding that out just kinda under my skin. But the better news is, the local businesses will being more of money that those other companies.
