[QUOTE="wildcatter, post: 610668, member: 9151"] If you keep letting people break the rules, why have them. Isn't your duty to say something? I am tired of hearing excuses as to why one shouldn't stand up for what is right. Yes, it will cause you much grief to point out the problem, but will it change things for the the better in the end. Sometime you have to bite the bullet and be the catalist for change. Our county is turning into a county that lacks morales and has no respect for people or their property. If you know that someone is molesting kids in your neighborhood, are you going to look the other way? It happens all the time. People are too afraid to get involved or they just don't want to expend the energy. It saddens me that people turn the other way rather than standing up for what is right. I know cheating at a cattle show is small. But is it really? If your child wins the Ft. Worth Stock Show, they will bring home around $250,000...Ft. Worth doesn't cap the amount a jr brings home. Win a heifer breed championship at San Antonio and win a $10,000 scholorship. If you were to steal that amount from your employer, would they look the other way? Tell me....What is tolerance of rule violators teaching our society? Cheating on test will get you into the best colleges, parents with the most money can get a child out of trouble with the school or police, and/or you don't need to work in order to reap the rewards. Hard work doesn't pay these days. Regardless of what is said, cheaters do hurt you as well as the show. If you want change, you have to begin with the small stuff. I hope you will take the issue to the board. If they don't want to follow their own bylaws, then you need to abolish them. [/QUOTE]
