Are the protests against the Olympic torch in London and Paris an example of what could happen in San Francisco this week? Of course those cities are much larger than this little berg on the west coast of the USA however there are some militant groups in the area so one never knows.

And by the way, I believe that the IOC made a serious mistake in awarding the summer games to Beijing. They have a mess on their hands now but you ain't seen nothin' yet. Once in Beijing it will be even a bigger mess with air polution contributing to that mess.
