[ Recap and setup: please READ"America for Rent Franchise Plants the IPO Seed - CEO Reveals ARF's Mission to Save America." ]

"God, I love the smell of FOX in the morning...."

The Mission
"Yes, a noble mission: Saving America...Yet, tight schedules, with no commitments, driven by high need: what a conundrum. Help! Now what?"

The Vision
"Well, God didn't create that Netflix business model just for movies! Let's rent something."

"Although that something must be real and meet our needs, it can't require too much of our precious time and attention. It can't require commitment."

"You understand, all of you, it has to fit into our essential schedule of things without requiring a real commitment. Be real in meeting our needs, yes, but not so real as to require anything long-term from us."

"We've field tested women, but that just does not offer a cost-effective or time-efficient solution. Too, our risk assessment outcomes on that one have not met the minimal, reasonable and acceptable safety threshold. And some women, in fact 73% according to our survey rapid feedback form, object to being field tested."

"No, another kind of fury pet, with wagging tail, is what we crave. We need to find a pet. But just for a little while. You know in these times of instant gratification and immediate feedback, with no strings attached, we can still handle a leash."

"Just trot down the street, looking all debonair, like we just stepped out of a gentleman's club. Spin off into a green space somewhere for a little romp. And then, before we lose our breath, just take doggy back for the next humanized metrosexual to share. No dogging a good thing."

"And a dog would be the only way to go. Can't do cats. They're too independent and finicky - almost as disorienting to personal space and time as a woman. No 'relationship' for us - maybe some dating, certainly some romance - but no committed relationships. Yeah, dogs will do."
