Question asked on CNN: Would you want to go to Beijing Olympics?

Very interesting question in terms of the status of the Chinese human rights before/after the Tibet incident and overwhelmingly reported on air quality. Many of the americans expressed their feeling toward China even though the ultimate factor is really the Olympic Game. Here are some examples:

Becker Dallas, Texas		July 30th, 2008 2:03 pm ET Nope. Nada. Negative. Nein. No Thanks and Not gonna happen. I am perfectly content sucking in the pollutants in this country without having pay to go abroad to import them into my lungs.
Susan from Ga		July 30th, 2008 2:03 pm ET Nope. With every move I would make under scrutiny, why spend all that money, when I can be scrutinized for free here at home? Thanks to Bush, I actually saved some money!
David, Orlando, FL		July 30th, 2008 2:03 pm ET Are you nuts? Who in their right mind would want to go to a communist country that is trying to kill us, thinks nothing of throwing people in jail for nothing and is full of air pollution worse than Los Angeles
Kevin Leo (Jonesboro, GA)		July 30th, 2008 2:05 pm ET Have they improved their human rights record recently?! Have they shared some of their recent wealth with their citizens? Have they gotten rid of the green slime/algae and excessive pollution?! No! Thanks anyway, I’ll rough it out here at home!
Pablo in Arlington Texas		July 30th, 2008 2:05 pm ET Jack, Not on your nellie. I have enough respiratory problems, thank you. Besides, I have no wish to further contribute to the financial well being of the People’s Republic. Georgie Bush has done quite enough by allowing them to buy up between 58 and 80 BILLION DOLLARS worth of T-Bills to finance his idiot war in Iraq.

Jan Davis, Knoxville, TN		July 30th, 2008 2:33 pm ET Not in a million years. Too much smog, no concern for human rights, and Communist. I can’t understand why they chose to have the Olympics there–looks dangerous to the health of the athletes.
Jason, Koloa, HI		July 30th, 2008 2:33 pm ET Sure, I love chinese food.
vern - anaheim ca		July 30th, 2008 2:33 pm ET no,i wouldn’t ,i hear the smog there is worse than here in los angeles and besides i value my lungs and also i want nothing to do with a communist country
Debi,		July 30th, 2008 2:34 pm ET mmmm let me think mmmm… I’m still thinking would I want to go… I’m still thinking Jack…. I guess by the time I make up my mind the olympis will be over with…. come to think of it that would be a good ideal.
Karen from Arkansas		July 30th, 2008 2:34 pm ET No, sorry, China is not on my Bucket List!

I personally think that the air quality issue has been exaggerated a bit although it's not as clean as the rural area in America. It's definitely comparable to LA. Hey, Beijing is shutting down numbers of factories and restricted cars on the road. What else do you want them to do?! News today also said it's improved more than 50%. And yes!!! They got chinese food, that's all you want for watching the Olympic games :P
