Good suggestions! Others:
Number of Boy Scout/Cub Scout units, and percentage of adult participants.
Number of fathers actively supervising their children’s education, with extra points for homeschools/private schools.
I’m very fond of trucks, and construction/maintenance skills are very important. Hunting, fishing, and shooting are great, too. However, in my opinion, the distinguishing characteristic of a real man is that he’s a responsible leader in his family, workplace, church, and community. Trucks and activities are tools of leaders, if used well, not the point themselves.
Well said. We've got a subculture of boys who try to outdo each other with "who's got the hugest truck". Watching them trying to climb into them is almost as funny as watching a droopy britches ghetto boy trying to run from the police.
They wear rural, like their dip and cheap liquor. Most have no clue about history, prefer rap to music and think Obama's the One. If I could get away with it I'd give them a matching Skoal ring that doesn't fade.
