Our soles are now free to soar, but we must love and understand all critters great and small. Many years ago, in a less enlightened age, some people entertained themselves by visiting lunatic asylums in Washington, D.C. and making fun of the inmates. It was a cruel and inhumane exercise.

Yeah, I have to keep my shoes nailed to the floor when I’m not standing in them.

Ha, you beat me. I hate to say it, but I stopped reading after seeing that. I may be more of a spelling snob than I thought...

“Soles” are the things on the bottoms of shoes. As the article indicates, soles (as parts of shoes) are now free to soar.

Thanks. I hope you enjoy the article. Satire is not my usual bag, but it is difficult to deal with some things in any other way.
