The ability of the corporate state to pacify the country by extending credit and providing cheap manufactured goods to the masses is gone. The pernicious idea that democracy lies in the choice between competing brands and the freedom to accumulate vast sums of personal wealth at the expense of others has collapsed. The conflation of freedom with the free market has been exposed as a sham.Sarah Palin:
Oh, thank God, it's nonpartisan. It doesn't matter your background, your demographics, your race, your political affiliation—it's such a uniting, healthy, fun, awesome activity. It cracks me up going to some running event and seeing some dude who campaigned so hard against me, or a lady who's been blogging some mean comments about me. But we're all there together and we're smiling and we're having a good time because we're going to do something healthy and active. We need more of that. That's what sports are able to do. It's a wonderful kind of diversion from the divisiveness that is politics or that is life. And my parents, they've got so many friends from so many different political bents because of all their years participating in races and organizing races. I was lucky enough to have been brought up in that atmosphere where I see the value in that.
My friend Dr Z enticing me to disc golf tomorrow:
You could meet Sally, my genetically similar unit. She's genetically similar to you, but not so much, so you will only like her a little, or you will have ambivalent feelings toward her.
I vote option three. More.
Man, she's dumb. Sport never makes me smile. Of course, all the teams I root for suck and/or choke.

I'm sure a lot of middle-aged male runners are getting off on this soft-core runner porn. It doesn't do anything for me. I'm more into cycling and swimming. Running is boring.
