In light of closing of the Nutty Putty cave to protect public safety, I implore Mojave Underground to join my campaign to ban all marathons held in the United States and world wide. These ego-laden displays of primitive physical endurance are rife with death, permanent injury, and physical disfigurement.
On December 9, the Las Vegas Review Journal reported, "Three runners -- ages 26, 36 and 65 -- died in the Detroit Marathon/Half-Marathon on Oct. 18, out of a field of 19,000. On Oct. 4, two runners in their 30s died at the Rock 'n' Roll Half-Marathon in San Jose, Calif., in a field of about 10,000."
We must stop this wholesale slaughter of contestants who have been unwittingly duped into participating in these "Death Runs". We must demand sweeping legislation to punish those who organize these events and force sponsors to pay punitive fines to the families of those who have died. Funds must be established to deal with the physical and psychological damage inflicted on the participants.
I will be contacting the United Nations secretary-general, Ban Ki Moon, urging him to enact world wide legislation to protect global citizens from these physical atrocities perpetrated by greedy capitalistic companies trying to sell their over priced, sweatshop manufactured, products to runners, many of whom will die utilizing those same products.
Marathons are the most egregious of dangerous activities and must be focused on initially, but all sports, games, and activities must be scrutinized for physical and emotional danger. Global citizens MUST be protected. Your action is vital. Join me in demanding the end of physio-terrorist activities.
