They enable the elite to keep control with a minimum of coercion, a maximum of law--all made palatable by the fanfare of patriotism and unity.

I couldn't understand why they didn't get it, why they didn't know that running was so cool and why they weren't in the race as well. Then I thought to myself "How stupid can you be? You've had so much encouragement and motivation and these women haven't."

It will be an act of justice as well as a measure of encouragement.

Our kids are our future. They deserve every possible opportunity to start their day with enthusiasm, encouragement and food in their stomachs.

Children cannot be fooled by empty praise and condescending encouragement.
