$ for opening ceremony could be better spent

    While watching the opening ceremony of the 2012 Olympics being held in London, the commentators made reference to whether the 2012 opening ceremony would be better than the one four years ago in China.
    I was disturbed by the amount of money spent on the opening ceremony and the competition to do even better, which of course means more money spent.
    When is enough enough? I think of the Third World countries where people live in cardboard shacks, have no electricity, and certainly no running water.
    While visiting Africa in 2006, it was sad to see people wearing the same clothing every day because it was the only set they had; children and woman walking three, four, even five miles to get water that wasn’t even potable.
    So could less money be spent on the opening ceremony, and that money be better spent elsewhere in the world on something important and lasting?

The Olympics = The Hunger Games.  Just give it time, you'll see I'm right.  It may not be in our lifetimes, but it will become that.
