<![CDATA[Grist - Comment Feed for Beijing officials consider extending some clean-air measures beyond Olympics]]> Grist Comment Feed en Comment #1 by greenhornet http://www.grist.org/article/OlymPollution/ Mon, 25 Aug 2008 05:20:18 -0700 http://www.grist.org/article/OlymPollution/1 Beijing continuing green measures after Olympics

Will these newly-baptised Greenies also continue their charming pre-Olympic measure of rounding up and sending tens of thousands of stray cats(and cats turned in by owners due to bogus health scares)to death camps to pretty up the streets?
They deserve to choke.

Speaking of pollution, who is responsible for all those bad, warbling Top Ten ballads at the beginning of each and every event.   There seemed to be a limitless amount of bad Sinopop emerging from the provinces.   Made me long for the days when the intellectuals were all sent to the rice paddies to sing "Oh, How I Love to Carry Manure Up the Mountainside for the Chairman".

How bad is it that a totalitarian government would respond to such a polite (compared to some) public request for clean air when some other democratically elected governments (in theory) can't seem to quite hear the increasingly strident calls for the same from their constituents?
