Comment The negative aspect of the concept of property. (Score 1) 520
Its amazing in my opinion how just about everything, not just natural resources like water, rivers, perhaps even air in the future, are just getting owned / regulared and "privatized". Meaning something that once was public and beloging to all for free - a God given right, gets just snatched by some egocentric insecure individuals that believe money is the only important thing on the planet.
The Olympics is no exception. Its supposed to represent the unity of mankind through a sporting event. Now somebody has the "rights" to it. Its now just another business for milking the population of their hard earned money. A bill such as this should never be passed - its absurd.
Its only natural and expected that the companies that are investing in the games should get some sort of protection - but it should be intelligent protection, which, IMHO means one that protects not just those companies, but the public interest and the ideal of the Games. This is irresponsible of the Olympic Comittee and only serves to prove its demagocical abuse of the Olympic ideal.
My 2 cents anyway. :/
