This evening's news tells me that the Chinese 'government' is evicting
13,000 families per month between now and August to accomodate the Olympics?

What a shame. It makes me want to cry. Brings to mind today's Dodger game.
The irony of celebrating their 50th anniversary in Dodger Stadium, in L.A.,
which used to be Chavez Ravine. The city used eminent domain to force a
hundred
families from their homes in Chavez Ravine, to build the stadium, and L.A.'s
economy. The irony? Today is Caesar Chavez day, here in California.
