The young man's older brothers have already refused this request, and bad things have invariably happened to them.

There are extremists on both sides: those who live on Facebook and those who want nothing to do with it. I, along with the rest of the American public, sit somewhere in the middle. There a big rush in the corporate techie space to get everything on to a social media platform like Facebook, from internal communication to job postings. Most of them are uncomfortable fits, but I think there is one area that does fit – corporate motivation.

I responded that I had to be optimistic, because the alternative – an America that is in perpetual decline – is unacceptable.

I’m a little impressed with myself. “Athletic” is not a word frequently used to describe me. As a kid, I wasn’t picked last for team sports, but I was never picked first. And until three months ago, I had never cycled more than 10 miles at a stretch. My last training ride was an easy, fun, quick 30 miles. I have good reason to be self-impressed.
