*sigh*
To quote John Scalzi - YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG.
The Olympic torched passed through San Francisco.... on an alternate route that didn't take it past spectators and possible protesters.
So. To clarify. The Olympic torch, which is supposed to be a symbol of illumination and light, a very VISIBLE SYMBOL of the unity between nations for a greater cause, is being hidden away out of fear of the possibility of protest. The symbolism of the Olympic torch has been smothered by the fear that some jackass might get out of line.
This is America in the 21st century. Enjoy.
