Oddly enough, the article that has (at least temporarily) restored my faith in humanity was posted at the Huffington Post<\/a>. The article reports on two things that happened at the Olympic Games<\/a> that made me smile.<\/p>\n

Fabien Gilot<\/a>, a member of the French freestyle relay team<\/a> (swimming), after the team won the gold, raised his arm to reveal a tattoo. The tattoo was in Hebrew<\/a>:

Sometimes, when organizations do the wrong thing, people do the right thing.<\/p>\n
