		Newsgroups: rec.sport.olympics, rec.sport.soccer Date: July 14, 1996 It is as plain as the nose on the Republican elephant that the television broadcasts of the Olympics are awash in nationalism.

		Now since you asked, I am suggesting that we should not be funding these types of labor practices; since these corps use the Olympics as their showcase, it seems only fitting that we should examine what they have done with those Olympics (basically, ruined them), and extrapolate from there.

	Olympic Safety & Security-1996
		According to Olympic officials, and in keeping with the general "volunteer spirit" of the games, most emergency medical care at the Olympics will be provided by American Red Cross first aiders, volunteer EMT's, nurses, and doctors from throughout the country.
		Olympic officials say that they have most areas of the venues under closed circuit television surveillance and can move rapidly to stop any fights, but experts point out that crowds can quickly develop a mind of their own.
		Of special concern to Olympic security officials is the possibility of the use of "weapons of mass destruction." Ever since the Aum Shinrikyo cult incidents in Tokyo, Yokohama, and other locations in Japan, emergency planners have feared that chemical or biological weapons would be used by terrorists against civilian populations.
