I'm with you on not watching the games. Unfortunately, what is most likely to happen is that media attention will focus on China for a few months, then once the games are over and the world stops paying attention, the real crack down will come. This is what happened in Burma, and it's likely what will happen in Tibet.
Anyway, I'm not going to hijack this tread anymore. I guess it's easy to personally boycott these Games for a Canadian - we do much better in the Winter Olympics 
Do not be oppressed by the forces of ignorance and delusion! But rise up now with resolve and courage! Entranced by ignorance, from beginningless time until now, You have had more than enough time to sleep. So do not slumber any longer, but strive after virtue with body, speech, and mind!
