Yeah but in reality Miss Kitty was a pox ridden whore and most gunslingers were undisciplined adolecents. Kinda takes the glamour off does it not?

I don't think Matt's gonna take too kindly to what you've said about his squezze.

And while those old white hat cowboy shows were as fake as a three dollar bill (ever see a horse turd on the streets of Dodge), they were a lesson in morality. The hero was always slow to anger, wise beyond his years, and when forced to go to the gun, and you knew he would, good always triumphed over evil.

Compare that with today's culture of rap music and the absolute garbage that comes from Hollywood.

I'll take the grim determination of a Gary Cooper over a Rambo with an M60 any day.

I remember that when I was growing up, even pro rassling was a morality play. Clearly defined good guys and bad guys, and the cheaters never prospered. I took my son to the pro wrestling for his birthday several years ago and even the audience was r-rated. No good guys or bad guys, just a battle of who has the worst case of 'roid rage on that particular day.

Don't know if Hollyweird is a reflection of society, or a cause of the discontent. Probably a little of the two.

I've got an idea...let's outlaw teevees!!!

All that raging rhetoric in those cowboy shows

Heck my dad likes the old cowboy songs, in the high note - alto soprano is it?

OdelayEEEEEE, odelayEEE, OOOOO.

Lay down, little doggies.....

Heck I do too, in moderation.

Ever see the really old westerns? They must not have had enough frames per second, so a galloping horse's legs looked blurish, very amusing, pilgrim.
