The games in China
There seems to be a difference in the medal score.
The Host nation say they have the most,but the U.S.A. say different.
Which do we take notice of?

Re: The games in China
We have learnt that you can put on a great Olympic Games event if you are an undemocratic dictatorship with an enormous propaganda budget, and you couldn't care less about political correctness.
I might be wrong on one count out of the three, but I don't think any of that applies to London.
Personally I'm glad the whole thing's over. I think it was a gift to the Chinese government PR ministry that should never have been made and it has revealed the Olympic organisation to be incredibly naive.
In future I'll always be suspicious that the bigger the show the more the host country has to hide.

To master your Zen you must look not outwards at others, But inwards at the Abyss that lies with in you. For it is here that the beast can be found and tamed. For your enemies are better held closer at arms length and your friends at a phone call away. Its good to Talk.
