But at the close of her statement she once again reminded us that VANOC had agreed that in exchange for corporate financial support, they would not allow corporate competitors to get a free ride. Apart from the irony that this sounds like anti-trust activity, one would have thought that VANOC would have expected their spokesfolks to use a little discretion in such matters. Libraries? A hotbed of insurgency if ever I saw one.<br /><br />But then it struck me that in the city's/province's lust to win the bid for the winter games they had to know they would have to agree to such terms to ensure that we could afford this circus. So it seems a tad disengenuous now to hear VANOC staffers defending their actions because the sponsors had insisted on such terms. Reminds me of Flip Wilson's classic line, "The Devil made me do it".<br /><br />By the way, I thought your shot at college students (and staff?) was a bit of a low blow. I suspect that many of the business and political elite around here come from the ranks of "higher" education. But if your point is that important values seem to be getting trampled in the Pamplona-like stampede to host the Olympics, I totally agree. Seems to me that some of our leaders are only too willing to sacrifice democratic values for questionable goals. <br /><br />DCDAVE C.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4242439673360261416.post-13943420122075677212010-01-13T12:52:24.586-08:002010-01-13T12:52:24.586-08:00Fire her NOW!
