[QUOTE="Running Arrow Bill, post: 32335, member: 9"] Some great stories! Think the "cause" of all this naivete, confusion, lack of "education" about very basic animal stuff can be blamed on our urban cultures that con't provide a complete education in our schools as well as parents that don't expose their kids to a wide variety of things. The moms and pops are too busy (and unconcerned) about "yuppie" and "boomer" stuff and chasing other things. Our "training" of kids somehow tends to leave out some of the most basic cultural things such as "cow, bull, steer, hoe, shovel, hammer, goat, where milk comes from," and other stuff. "New Age" parents and schools are too busy chasing designer clothes, cell phones, SUV's, soccer, cosmetic surgery, bottled water, and all those other superficial life things that would cause you to die within a week if your electricity was turned off...lol. All of us "basic country folks" will probably be the "survivors" when it's all said and done. Hey! Getting my Ph.D. was a real trip back in the early 80's; HOWEVER, doesn't matter anymore and that degree and 75 cents will buy me a cup of coffee and a seat at the local cafe... :cboy: ...food for thought....
