New York Olympics

I don’t think it’s too soon to say that New York City should be the hands-down choice to be awarded the 2012 Olympic Games. It would be a perfect international message of courage and hope for a peaceful world, as well as a strong statement promoting unity, diversity and understanding between nations.

I know that New York and Los Angeles both are under consideration, but even though I’m from the L.A. area I believe New York is the logical and right choice.

Of course it would be the right thing to do morally, ethically, politically and financially to show worldwide support and love for this great, great city.
