Instead of trying to put out the Olympic torch, which admittedly possesses the thrill of self-righteousness but means absolutely nothing in the final analysis, buy less made-in-China crap, which is a less comfortable solution but has a stronger impact. Or call up a corporate sponsor of the Olympics — say McDonald’s, Adidas, UPS, Snickers — and tell them you’ll boycott their products unless they pull out their money and their logos. Then do it.
