I find value in both. But if I had to choose, it would be the Olympics. I find grace and beauty in people pushing their bodies to the extreme to accomplish things that few people can do. Watching the gymnastics and the track and field tonight and it was all just sheer poetry in motion.
Peace and Godspeed.

Mars, I've dreamt of a manned mission to Mars since I was young.
This is the next step towards that. -Mary Mowder |

Ron, The comparison here is between Mars Mission and Bolt's achievement. there are lots of other stuff that has cost more than the Mars Mission. The reason I choose Bolt is that the next generation should be made to understand that our fitness is a prime concern to move the human race for future achievements (scientific or otherwise). Healthwise the way we are going, we might not see the day where we are able to see life beyond this planet or colonize other planets. I am not saying you become as good as Bolt, but he is a good role model for th kids who choose to stay home for their Finger Flicking Xboxes and Play Stations. |

Are you saying there is anything wrong with finger flicking?
You may have chosen the wrong site for that particular argument. LOL -Mary Mowder |

How has that war on drugs worked out since you want to mention random stuff? War on poverty? Stimulus?
Payne I guess the Spider-Man movie of old vs new is of consequence? Who said mind achievements are not celebrated? someone tell Einstein.
