Think of it this way. Would you rather raise your kids by the ways of the good old days or Now days. When I was 10 years old, I was exposed to hoeing tobacco and corn, cleaning the dairy barn, playing kick the can at night with a bunch of neighbor kids, spending lots of days in the mountains exploring and parents not even worrying about us, learning to drive the farm truck and tractors, eating hot lunches with the farmhands, going to the swimming hole in the creek on hot afternoons, riding a bicycle to little league ball practice with a car passing only once in a while, neighbors pitching in to help work, Listening to songs by Johnny Cash and Patsey Cline on the tube radio, watching 2 fuzzy channels on T V with only about 2 commercials in 30 minutes, and the list goes on and on and on. Now what are many 10 year olds exposed to. Well for starters they can get on the internet and look at anything an everything they should not no matter how much their parents try to block. They hear about drugs at school and hear about even 4th and 5th graders playing the choking game. They can hear about all the nice prescription stuff that might be found in their parents medicine cabinet. They can hear about the sex and violence in some of the rap music and vidio games. And then, all they have to do is turn on the big screen T V and see more sex and violence even in the prime time hours. And then a commercial comes on. One comes to mind about a bunch of yuppies who have come together to play their guitars and sing while wearing their plaid shirts and fake cowboy hats and do some male bonding. Then they break out into song, in celebration of a little pill that is now on the market which allows them back in the ranks of those who are capable of normal bedroom activities, of which they had formerly been doing without. Now with this new V pill, they are so happy they laugh and sing about it. And yes, so many 10 year old across the country get to watch them celebrate.

Today's Featured Article - Seeing an Old Friend - by Joe Evans. Dad had a concrete contracting business starting in 1960. One of his first pieces of equipment was a Ferguson TO-35 with a Davis loader. Dad replaced the TO-35 with a MF 202 Workbull, essentially an industrialized Ferguson 35 I am told. Dad bought the 202 new in 1962, and I recall quite clearly going to the dealer with him to sign for it.
