If you didn't see the opening ceremony, find someone who TiVoed it and watch.
Holy crap...stunning.
Quote of the day...er...week...umm...hey, look, a quote!!
Tibi gratias agimus quod nihil fumas.
It says "...freedom of...", not "...freedom from...".
"It's amazing to me how many people think that voting to have the government give poor people money is compassion. Helping poor and suffering people is compassion. Voting for our government to use guns to give money to help poor and suffering people is immoral self-righteous bullying laziness. People need to be fed, medicated, educated, clothed, and sheltered, and if we're compassionate we'll help them, but you get no moral credit for forcing other people to do what you think is right. There is great joy in helping people, but no joy in doing it at gunpoint." - Penn Jillette

I was blown away. Never seen anything like it!
It was so amazing wasn't it? How did they do all that stuff...must have cost a fortune.
An example of what can happen when a nation says "Hey, get the best guy we have and give him all the resources he needs, then get out of his way."
T and I watched and compared to Atlanta and were embarrassed by our state's rather pathetic showing...I mean, come on - a dancing blue sperm??
