   I am a big Shawn Johnson fan. She is amazing for 16. She will be on tonight here again for the gymnastics competition. I am not sure what they will be doing though tonight.

   I'll be following the Beijing Olympics on television. I live in central North America, and would be doing well to travel outside Minnesota and North Dakota.
   
   As for boycotts and the politics: I think the funniest thing about the preparations was China's assurances that their open-air events would be fine, despite the season. They're ordering the weather to be clear for the games.
   
   The photo with a USA Today article ( www.usatoday.com/weather/research/2008-02-29-china-weather_N.htm ) Makes it look like they're going to shoot down rain clouds. Fact is, cloud seeding seems to be fairly routine there.
   
   We'll see how successful they are.

      The impression I get is that security will be rather tight. As long as you're not a reporter, or start asking too many questions, or photographing the wrong things, you'd probably be safer at the Beijing Olympics, than in your home town.

    of course, those 'stories' may be true, China does have a bad record in treating Tibetans......but tell me, every country, directly or indirectly is involved in some sort of monkey-business, so will you boycott that country?
    
    By the way, which country are you from?

    I'm not that much into sport that I'd go somewhere because of the Olympic games. I'd probably prefer to go to Beijing when things have quietened down again

    I consider the Olympics to be ...
    If I could afford to go would I? No way.
    Unfortunately my province is reving up for hosting one. That means all of us little people, who cannot even a afford a ticket to one event, will be financing the entertainment for all the rich beaches from all over the world, for a couple of generations or until we retire the debt.

    At one point of time, even I considered the Olympics to be boring, but later, I've found many interesting games, like, trampoline stunts, gymnastics and athletics....
