The rugged individualist who pioneered this country is a dying breed, but his replacement, the namby-pamby collectivist, is now found everywhere. It used to be that the westerner in particular (except for the effete-souls out in California) was for the most part someone who reveled in the out-of-doors and in taking care of himself and his affairs by himself . . . jumping in now and again to help when a neighbor faced a real catastrophe. Today’s American and today’s westerner are markedly different: he expects the federal government to blow his nose for him; brush his teeth for him; wipe his butt for him, and raise and educate and indoctrinate his children for him . . . and wouldn’t choose to have it any other way. Clearly this is the end of an era, more’s the pity.
Ya’all live long, strong and ornery,
