In the 1930’s we were a working society, that is what one did, it was our way of life.

Today, those campers are having withdrawl pains from their tv sets with many channels, the computers and internet, fancy movies, none of it real and all of it used in their destruction of a society.


Yup - there's no shame in being poor. It's how one reacts to it. I'm very sad that our society doesn't have the character or backbone to survive another depression with class and hard work and sacrifices. At least, it's my opinion that all the entitlement babies won't develop the courage their grandparents had. I could be wrong.

Of all my life, if I could roll back the clock, it would not be to a money period, but to Wellton, where survival was the name of the game.

If you needed more building supplies, you went to the local dump and if you were lucky, what you needed was there.

Sure it was hard work and we didn’t have much, by modern tv standards, but we ate well, had the animals, a garden and a sense of well being for having survived.
