Well, I won't have to apologize for watching the Olympics because my husband and I *are* boycotting them. I don't think it's stupid to do so, although I'm sure you're not the only person to think that.

I feel that having the Olympics is Beijing was solely a political act. I despise the censorship being imposed upon the Chinese people (as well as everyone who was lied to about access there) and I think what the Chinese government is doing in Tibet is a crime. I consider those compelling reasons not to watch.

This wasn't a quick decision; we both believe in what the Olympics stand for, but we feel that these summer games have been compromised.
