When I was walking on campus the other day I saw this guy in a tie just sprinting somewhere. I've always wondered how our society would function if we all just ran everywhere we went. Everyone would start as babies just learning to run and we wouldn't really walk much, unless carrying large things like pianos or in the case of a serious injury. We would all be healthier and get more things done because we would save time by running everywhere. We would all have great stamina to run incredibly far, way more than we think is possible. That's my idea. Who's with me?

I bet we would accidentally run into each other more. And it'd hurt worse because we'd hit harder. Just think how dangerous it would be to go around the corner of a building or a hallway.
we would all smell a lot worse.
What I always say when I see someone running for no reason is "Your mom's on fire." I don't know why I say that. I just do.
I'm just glad our society are walkers and not crawlers. Have you noticed how vulnerable your knees are now that your older. I used to jump and land on my knees as a child. That would kill me now.

I use that phrase a lot, too, but it's usually after spending a night in Louisiana.
what if instead of running we all just wore those shoes with the little wheel on the back like every jr. high kid I see? I have to say, they make me really jealous because I don't own a pair.
Those shoes are cool. I don't know if they make them for big kids or not, but I used to want a pair. It turns out they're kind of heavy, though. I mean, as far as shoes go.
PS: Sorry for double commenting last time. I don't know what happened.
I do run places a lot..mostly because I am late. Here are my thoughts on the disadvantages to running everywhere:
-If you have a purse, it bounces everywhere.
-If you are in heels, you get blisters faster.
-If you are trying to eat on the way, it gets all over your clothes/face.
-When you arrive at your destination, you realize you are super hot/ thirsty but you don't have water and you can't strip down right there because people might get offended.
-You look stupid running like a mad person whose mom is on fire.
One of those problems could be solved if we were a free spirited naked running society. It would be much cooler; however, the purse would be much larger because you have no pockets. Also, you would still get blisters and spill stuff on your face and body. This poses another problem, if you spill on yourself you can't just change shirts and taking multiple showers a day could get annoying.
So my conclusion is lets just stay a fully clothed walking society.
