Time to kick the riff Raff out of our sport. I propose these cut off times for all races:
5k: 19:00
10k: 40:00
1/2 marathon: 1:20
Marathon: 2:30
Any reasonable person can meet these.

A good idea, but I feel that your times are a bit inconsistent, here is my suggestion.
5k: 20:00
10k: 38:00
1/2 marathon: 1:20
Marathon: 2:30

At what point does your mom kick the riff-raff out of her basement?
RUDE! I'll never be able to amble another 12:20 marathon and pretend train again!

Nice "e-mail", bro:
According to the results of my local turkey trot, which attracts every runner in town, there would be 4 people allowed to race.

Holy sheet that's pathetic.
Cutoff times should be in place, I totally agree. These, however are just ridiculous. All of the people racing for the feeling of self-accomplishment and for the sake of achieving goals are cut out completely. Races would lose money. Coming from someone who can hit all of your "standards" I don't agree they should be at that speed. Something more like:
5k: 30 minutes
10k: 65 minutes
1/2: 2.5 hours
Marathon: 6 hours
WOW now that is really RUDE. I'm going to blog about this and probably make up a story to go along with it!

It seems like most races are doing the opposite. They stop giving prize money and catering to elite runners.
That is fine by me, if you want to be serious about racing, there are plenty of college meets you can run unattached and club grand prix series that attract faster folks.

That was quite a inspirational story for anyone who has overcome obstacles and bullying in their lives.

Can't agree more.
Need more details though what happens when someone doesn't make a cutoff?
Shooting them would be effective but a lot of bleeding hearts would call that too extreme.
Lifetime ban from ever racing again? That would be doable, the USATF could set up some kind of hobby jogger database that every RD would have to check and purge their entry list against.
