Imagine letting your kid go run with his/her friends while you watch the Utah-Iowa State game. Then, they return to your seat in the fourth quarter covered in mud from a man-made slide.

I don’t think people realize how absurd this is. Scottish runner Josh Kerr just broke the mile world record in 3:42.66, an average speed of 16.2 mph. Most people couldn’t even briefly reach that speed, let alone sustain it for an entire mile.

The depths of evil
For those mourning the ghoul.
The fall of the regime in Iran was predetermined on the day when a father was publicly hanged in front of his daughter for a post on social media.
In his final moments, the father kept smiling while looking into his daughter’s eyes, so that her courage would not break.
Who does not remember that scene — and hundreds of similar scenes that shook the hearts of people all over the world?
In a place where women have their hair cut off for not wearing a burqa, where they are paraded naked and beaten so brutally that they die in hospital in agony…
A culture and a system of values that treat women and children with such contempt and exploit them are doomed to destruction.

The man is Majid Kavousifar, who was executed in 2007 for assassinating a judge who had sentenced as many as 3800 people to death. Kavousifar assassinated the judge in retaliation for being falsely convicted of alcohol possession. He is not known to have had a daughter.
