One good thing about New York not getting the 2012 games is that we would never have put on a show anywhere near as spectacular.

This city would have done a weak show with dancing Statue of Liberty's or something corny like that.

Sadly, creativity, imagination and the ability to wow are no longer this city's strong points.

Disagree. 84 LA - with the concert pianos playing Gershwin in unison was probably the most memorable opening Ive seen.

The real tragedy for London (and not NY) is that there will be comparisons to the modern police state and the history of the elites of England (the spreading of glorious culture through imperialism and exploitation) with the CCP.

They are already being made now in the English press. Go to the Guardian website if you dont believe me.
