re: Is it time to quit having the Olympic games?

I just don't understand how these people justify spending all this money for these limited events. How do these hosts think that it is worth it? Is it simply that the politicians agree to it because of corruption, and they can skim off the top? And the people of this country allow the politicians to agree to it because they are too stupid to see the corruption or simply expect the corruption?

The older I get the more the world seems like a strange chaotic place devoid of order and ration.
