This is a bad idea.

SI.com - More Sports - Swimmer wants Rogge to speak out - Wednesday March 5, 2008 12:52PM Three-time Olympic swimming gold medalist Pieter van den Hoogenband wants IOC president Jacques Rogge to speak out on human rights in China ahead of the Beijing Games.

Do not encourage others to speak on behalf of all the others.

Plenty was done, for the behalf of all the people in China, by those who could speak and act. What was done, and what is still being done, some might say, isn't always "nice."

Count on your own voice.

Now I'll need to go read the article.

Then I'll book the tickets to Netherlands and have a chat with this top athlete.

Today is the day that we are booking our trip there.
