Beijing Olympics 2008 – out moded cultural exchange

I was in Tiananmen Square 1990. It was creepy. Hardly anyone there.

Now the city has changed beyond almost all recognition. Freedom to block out their past. Freedom to eat American junk food. Freedom to spend.

Freedom to obliterate culture. The Olympics do exactly that. Waste of energy, waste of time. People can have their cultural exchange …. online …. any time.
