17. I agree up to a point. What about this torch-lighting ceremony in 1936?


  Again, I agree with what you're saying...but I believe there is real merit in considering the context in which an event happens. In certain contexts the value of the event can be nullified entirely- or turned into a caricature of what it's supposed to represent.
