Well, if the material is out there, why not point to something that specifically makes your point?
As it stands, your point seems to be that you understand Adam Smith better than most people, but pointing to an article that talks about Adam Smith being misunderstood results in you saying that one should research Adam Smith. It is vexing.
I'm a little heavy, but I'm not fat. I'm also 72 inches tall with a 32 inch inseam and ~35 inch waist. These are ridiculous proportions for speed and endurance sports, and I am simply not large enough to compete in most strength sports. Add in that I am not enormously motivated to complete (is this part of what makes an Olympic athlete?) and there you go.
That article repeated refers to Adam Smith and about how the interpretation of the invisible hand has been taken too far. It also repeatedly calls the invisible hand a metaphor.
It isn't a choice that any person can make. It is a choice that people at the extreme edge of human performance can choose to make. No one else can get the funding.
I'm also imagining, but I'm imagining introducing altered muscle fibers into the large muscles in the legs, and the sampling requiring many samples from all over the tissues in question to be effective (rats have muscle fibers that are faster and stronger than human muscles; if cells harvested from a human runner could be altered to express the rat muscle characteristics and then reintroduced into the body).
Fantastic no doubt, but I'm not sure it is ridiculous.
Gene splicing will be local to the cells that are spliced. How do you test an athletes legs for gene splicing without seriously impacting their ability to train and compete?
Finland and Sweden are somewhat more urbanized than the U.S. $/potential customer is about the same, but when it comes to infrastructure, potential customers/$ is somewhat lower in the U.S.
(The short explanation is that the population density of Alaska has (next to) nothing to do with the cost of servicing customers in Anchorage)
How do you figure the US can't afford it anymore? Too much debt? Too many promises to pay money in the future?
As it stands, even with the recent erosion in the dollar, average Americans have more material wealth than they had 50 years ago, or 30 years ago. Probably not more than 10 years ago, but that is only 10 years, things generally don't move in a straight line up up up the way they did between 1950 and 1990.
I don't think there is really a good way to do it other than whitelisting, which is under end user control. I would have a big problem with an initiative to prevent people from using such systems, a much bigger problem than I have with tracking cookies.
The most bestest (I apologize for murdering the language there, but I want to make it clear that this is hopelessly optimistic) thing would be to convince them not to use tracking cookies at all and to fund their company with happiness.
Guns causing more harm than good doesn't actually imply that gun control causes more good than harm.
You should be in favor of gun control only if you have a positive belief in gun control, not simply because you have negative beliefs about guns (I realize that this is likely your position, but why not reach for clarity).
That's unfortunate. Maybe there is a reason that you are highly averse to it, but having worn contacts for a couple of years, I have no problem doing it.

For you to claim to know my state of mind better than I do is preposterous.

Way to go to the dirt though.

Are there good reasons not to start here:

Just wondering...

"he half means god of hand"
That doesn't even make sense.
It isn't a fairy tale, it is a metaphor.

It's already a freak show competition. No normal person can even hope to compete with people who live to train.
Crackers or wine?

My point was more that the wealth is there, it just isn't being put to that specific purpose at the moment.

If you really never open email from senders you don't know, I would assume that you are in the minority, and maybe even in a small minority.
They say that they understand digestion even though they don't, so who really cares what they have to say about nutrition?
I would be more impressed if you could pop Lego in a Wok!
Where did anybody say anything about it being ridiculous?

myrealbox.com may be a better 'in the meantime' than Google, but they might not exactly match your needs:
http://myrealbox.com/
(Note that I use Gmail, but that service offers at least some of the stuff you want, decent privacy and secure IMAP)
What would you suggest they do?
I opted out (I don't care enough to whitelist) and the content of the cookie is innocuous (literally, "OPT_OUT").
That's unfortunate. Maybe there is a reason that you are highly averse to it, but having worn contacts for a couple of years, I have no problem doing it.
I just did it again to make sure.
In California, they prescribe it for pretty much anything, including anxiety:
