A Question of Morality

Steven Spielberg has resigned as artistic advisor to the Chinese Olympics due to pressure from activist type folks. Seems that folks don't like the Chinese because of their support and involvement with the Sudanese government that is currently and has been for a while, committing genocide against folks in the Darfur region.

Still no word about activists going after John Bolton, who as ambassador to the UN, made sure that talks were delayed on the subject of Darfur because he knew nobody was going to do shit about it. Therefore, the U.S. is in direct complicity in the case of the genocide against the folks of Darfur, and there will be no call to get Steven Spielberg to move out of the U.S. and to some other nation that isn't complicit or committing genocide...like...Antarctica.

And there is still a rare discussion anywhere about the fact that over 200 U.S. coporations supported the Nazi's during WWII: IBM, Brown Brothers Banking, GE, Ford, GM, etc. Any moral discussions gonna happen around the issues that many U.S. corporations are complicit in the genocide of the Jews, Sinti, Roma, Gays, Lesbians, Jehovah Witnesses, etc., during the years the Nazi's were in power in Germany?

There is almost no discussion anywhere, other than from the Indians in BC, that Canada, another great purveyor of morality and human rights (sarcasm, in case you aren't recognizing that), is building their 2010 Winter Olypics shit on sacred Native grounds. Feh...just a buncha red niggers being attacked by another genocidal nation nobody is gonna do anything about.

For many reasons, I'm no big fan of the Olympics. OK...I'm no fan at all. The Olympics in and of itself is a corrupt organization created to make a whole lotta money for some already wealthy and unworthy assholes at the expense of folks that moral folks are gonna say nothing about. But to consider the resignation of Spielberg as some sort of moral victory is moronic at best.

We, in the U.S., live in one of the most horrific and genocidal nations ever to have existed. All it takes is a little research. The information IS available.

One more thing...80% of Christmas decorations are made in China. I assume that the same folks that put pressure on Spielberg to quit the Olypics will be boycotting Christmas decorations here in the states. I can't wait to see that campaign.
