The architecture of the city has grown and expanded and hopefully the people's conscience with it.<BR/><BR/>Steamboat<BR/>www.powder2glass.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1931264545756666423.post-82392381697413465202008-08-19T23:35:00.000-04:002008-08-19T23:35:00.000-04:00The Beijing Olympics have certainly created a bala...The Beijing Olympics have certainly created a balancing act for me as well. Between seeing how beautiful the city is and the natural beauty of the community, yet seeing that they are making strides, yet then again how much is permanent, as you mentioned... It's all so complex, and truly a bit superficial eco-change. And I wanted to boycott the Olympics for a stance, but then to watch pieces and see the innocence of their people, how heartbroken they are to see how angry the world is at them, how much they want to be looked at with respect and be embraced as humanity... so I decided I am ultimately incredibly angry at their government (and the last number of decades of govt) but must sympathise with their people, as I never had before.<BR/><BR/>Such rambling... sorry. Watching the Olympics this year, however, has forced me to look largely at humanity and environment, and how both are covered by both governments and media respectively...<BR/><BR/>If only things were simple. And beautiful, as their city so is (minus the haze).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
