Great television

Once every four years television is great. What a great cultural
event! Tremendous skill, sportsmanship and entertainment all day and
evening for two truly wonderful weeks are available to anyone who
owns a television set.

I am not a sports enthusiast, but I cannot imagine anyone on
this planet who would not enjoy watching the world's super
athletes participate in the Olympic games in China.

I do feel sorry for the people who lost their homes in order
that the Olympic sports complex could be built. I wish they
had been provided new places to live instead of just doing
whatever they could to get by.

I can't imagine what it would be like to be homeless, and
I am so thankful for that. I have had a good, safe and
prosperous life. I know there are many people in this
country and in the world who have never known that kind
of security.

Anyway, not to belabor the subject, watching those young
men and women give their all to represent their countries
successfully and well gives me a warm feeling of pride, as
well as two weeks of superb entertainment.
