I remember thinking how wasteful it is that cities which host the Olympics and other World Games build gigantic monuments for those games that, when the games are over, the deserted monuments remain. Brazil especially comes to mind, where 250,000 poor people were evicted to make room for giant stadiums (and their parking lots).

Meanwhile, in this country, lots of NFL stadiums going up, with costs socialized, and profits privatized.

A good example of absurd priorities that reflect our culture of distraction.
