I have been asked to join a protest against the Beijing Olympic games on account of the Chinese government's lack of respect for human rights. From my perspective such a lack of respect extends into the environment and unbridled economic growth.
Without respect for humans, other animals and the environment China is fast becoming the number one polluter of the planet, waster of resources and corrupter of sustainable living. Of course, it has a way to go before it catches up with the US but the day that it does overtake the US is not too far away.
Please feel free to link to the graphic above and put it on your website.
And, read an article on the reasons behind its creation.

Thanks James! Additionally, you might include others on your post that are joining this Cause, by doing so it will help promote both the boycott and the bloggers involved! Cheers!
Thank you, James!
Seems to me like we could come up with a similar list of reasons to boycott the Olympics in the US. Would people do it? Would anyone (in the US) who is going to support this boycott of the Olympics in China support a boycott of the Olympics here? I bet it would be a very small percentage, mostly people who would boycott the Olympics for any reason anywhere.
