I like 60% of Chuck Colson’s ministry. Yep, I just did an analysis. It took me all the time it takes most people to make up statistics, which according to the bureau of fraudulent statistics, is 4.2 seconds (which was also the fastest time at the NFL Combine. Not sure what the connection is but why am I going to spend anymore time arguing with made up numbers). That said, this breakpoint post was great. I can’t believe it, I’m outraged!

“The Olympic committee, back in 2001, said choosing Beijing would be a catalyst for change in China. It “may help to liberalize a country,” said the committee’s vice president, Thomas Bach of Germany. But that will not happen when, as the London Daily Mail puts it, you “kow tow” to the host country, and you tell athletes to keep quiet—which is exactly what is happening.To comply with the international Olympic Charter, Britain’s Olympic athletes are being forced to sign contracts promising they will not say anything about China’s human-rights abuses. If they violate the contract, athletes will find themselves on a plane headed home. The contract could mean that an athlete “who witnesses someone being mistreated on the way to a stadium” could not talk to colleagues about it. And they would have to “exercise self-censorship” on blogs and e-mails. And while U.S. athletes may speak freely—they cannot do so at any official Olympic venue or press conference. Come on.
