Opposing the Olympics??? WHY ???????????

Hello there activist people of all colors and sizes from around the Globe.
I just read an article about "oppsing the London olympic bid" and couldn't
come up with any reason for doing so and was thinking that perhaps one of you could enlighten me.
Yes, I admit that it will cost money, but do you honestly think that money would
be otherwise spent on "good" causes??? I doubt that very much in today's Britain.
And wouldn't it also bring temprary work for a tens of thousands unemployed people??
But then again (and I know you hate me for saying this) not many of the activists that
I have met want to do any work.
Also the Olympic Village houses as far as I know are planned to be given as "Affordable Housing" after the games....isn't also a good thing???
And London is a city which needs it's tourism, would Olympic Games be about the best
thing that could happen to London in that regards??
And to get the Games, London needs to improve their public transport, which lets face it
needs a LOT of improvement (knowing from expererience).

So please, please. do tell me why you are so opposed to the London Olympic Bid???
I am very much looking forward to hearing from you, and try to use civil language...I do so hate it when people rant at me...

Anyways, hope you are all having a good time and enjoying whatever it is that you were
doing before reading this Email.
