One more blog before I am admitted for surgery Wednesday.
A Chinese government official has declared the protests at the lighting of the Olympic flame as shameful!
China's Xinhua news agency has described Monday's torch-lighting ceremony at Olympia as "flawless".

I’d like to remind all readers of my blog who wish to sign the petition to go to www.everyonegroup.com
The itinerary for the first legs of the flame’s journey to Beijing is as follows:-
Torch relay in Greece 24th-29th March
Beijing March 31st
Almaty April 2nd
Istanbul April 3rd.
I can only hope that there are peaceful protests at these, (and all scheduled ), cities as the flame continues its journey.
One more news item from China –Yang Chunlin has been jailed for 5 years in China for gathering 10,000 signatures on an open letter entitled, “We want human rights, not the Olympics”. The prosecutor claimed it “stained China’s international image” and amounted to subversion.
I think he wasted his time – the Chinese government have made an excellent job of staining their image, without any private help!
See ya soon - the sooner the better.
