The Olympic Games
-
I have known two different people who won medals in the Olympic Games.
-
One was a lady named Tineke Bartels who competed in a couple of different games in dressage. I've been to her house many times, so I got to see her silver medal.

The other peson I know who has won Olympic medals is Anky van Grunsven. She won a gold medal in dressage. And then did it again winning another gold medal in the following Olympic games. An amazing rider. She may well be the finest dressage rider ever.

Back in 1972 I was living in Frankfurt, Germany and got the chance to go to the summer Olympic games in Munich, Germany.

This was where the palestinian terrorists killed all the Jewish athletes. In a way this was the beginning of the modern era of all out violence, indiscriminate suicide bombings, etc..
-
The recent anniversary of Martin Luther King's death, and the violent protests against the Olympic torch is London, Paris, and San Francisco made me think. I agree with the Dali Lama. Violent protest is outdated and inappropriate. But it should be well within everyone's rights to express one's opinion and protest in a non-violent manner.
