It’s the easiest way to post quoted text to your blog, no matter where you find it on the Web. Just select text to quote, add your comments, then publish it instantly to your blog. It’s that simple!
But it all honesty, I find it excruciating for those that things don’t go right for.
I don’t cope well with watching people absolutely shattered over a dream going up in flames.
And I hate the way activists use all the media attention surrounding them to push their own political barrow.
But just maybe rubbing shoulders with the rest of the world in this way might rub off a little on the Chinese.
Perhaps hosting the Olympics is a small but important step in the growth of this culture.
After all, our own British heritage is hardly brilliant when it comes to the whole Human Rights debate (we watched Amazing Grace the other night - the story of William Wilberforce and his struggle to abolish the slave trade).
Otherwise there wouldn’t be so much media interest and money tied up in the event.
I just don’t want to spend every spare moment watching or talking about the Olympics.
