I believe the Olympics are an avenue of understanding and friendship between the different countries. And I also think that there are times there are peaceful protests and times when they totally get out of line like the young lady who was in the wheel chair. They pass way pass their rights when they come in to do something like that. I am thankful that we have the opportunity to have the Olympics every four years and allow the athletes to be able to show their excellence and to compete in a friendly manner in a competitive manner that is wholesome. So I am a very strong proponent of the Olympics and I think it's a very wonderful, wonderful thing.
