"Exactly. Check out the pics from last weekends Boston Marathon. Try to find a single barefoot runner. Some of the best must have decided not to show up"
The best runners in the world don't run for your amusement. You can go and show at their mountains, and maybe they will let you run with their kids.

Government is fingerprinting cellphone users also.

First, Tarahumara is their "slave name", the correct and original is Rarámuri.
"Virtually barefoot. Which is to say not barefoot at all. These 'best runners in the world' have decided that they need footwear. "
They decided nothing, their actual clothing is an adaptation of the western clothing. They run barefoot if they want.
