Am I the only one who thought that was just a little disturbing?

Found this thread this AM and wanted to see if anyone else thought the opening ceremonies were disturbing... and you're the first on the thread that I saw, anyway.

I didn't watch the whole thing. Tuned in about the time of the drums and after being reminded of the pomp, circumstance and pageantry of the opening of the 1936 Olympics hosted by Nazi Germany (only bigger and badder in Beijing), I changed channels with a shudder. The physical manifestation of the heart of communism on display: there are no individuals.

Makes you want to run for an Ayn Rand book. Anthem comes immediately to mind.

The physical manifestation of the heart of communism on display: there are no individuals. EXACTLY!! Disturbing is the only word for it. But I'm just an American individualist.

“The physical manifestation of the heart of communism on display: there are no individuals.”

My daughter said the same thing. She said they all look exactly the same. The funny thing is that she was born in Vietnam.

She’s American now, though. You can’t wipe the spirit off her face.

It reminded me of the Arirang festival the North Koreans do.
