Summer at Mordor?
I'm starting to be concerned about the Olympics. Between revoked visas and the Sally Jenkins' column regarding questionable air quality and corporate sponsorships, I worry. One of the favorites in the men's marathon has already dropped out. Supposedly, events over an hour scheduled on days when air quality is bad will be rescheduled. It almost makes the days of drug scandals seem like the good old days. The Olympics haven't even started. Maybe I should worry less about the Olympics and more about China (or the world?) in general.

I hope that the Olympics will show the world and Americans that we need to clean up some more. The air quality in China is just atrocious. There's almost never a day in Beijing that is good quality and they've spent years trying to fix it. People need to realize the irreparable harm we're doing to the earth.
