i don't get what the fuss is with the Commonwealth Games. i don't understand why we would want to commemerate an Empire that no longer exists, an Empire that did nothing for any of us. i don't understand why we would want to subject ourselves to the humiliation of recognizing and honouring a monarch that doesn't care whether we live or die. i don't understand why we still bother with an instituition that is a hollow shell. the Commonwealth Games are a blatant reminder of the stain of colonialism, a stain on our history that i find so revoltingly insulting. we are a free and independent country, and doing great, thankyouverymuch. surely there are no reasonable grounds for us to submit ourselves to this grave insult to our national pride. we must remove this last blot of colonialism from our system. we have tahan-ed this insult for decades now. its time to end it.
