I stole this from FascistBook this morning. I don't think we will hear anything like this on current TV shows.
When Barney told Andy he should just let Opie "decide for himself" how he wanted to live… Andy had these words of wisdom.
"No, I'm afraid it don't work that way. You can't let a young’n decide for himself. He'll grab at the first flashy thing with shiny ribbons on it. Then, when he finds out there's a hook in it, it's too late. Wrong ideas come packaged with so much glitter that it's hard to convince ‘em that other things might be better in the long run. All a parent can do is say 'wait' and 'trust me' and try to keep temptation away."
Somehow... we have lost this basic truth. Too many people are more worried about being their child’s friend, than in being a parent.

I just love that show, lots of wisdom mixed with humor. Good shows like Wagon Train and others that taught good Godly morals.

Very wise wisdom from dear old Andy.
It sure could be applied today to keep our children safe.
Can you imagine Hollyweird making such a program today.
The crapola they put out isn’t worth watching and should come with warning labels.

I’d love to know who that writer, of that Andy Griffith script was....such sage and wise advice.
Too bad Andy and Opie turned out to be far leftists.
Maybe Opie should go back and watch all of the Mayberry episodes, to catch a hint of what REAL, and, good America is/was all about.
Thanks for posting that.
