Children had manners and knew how to fix an engine and make supper. Kids went to school with their rifles and had marksmanship classes. You slept with your doors open in the summer and let your kids ride to the next county on their bikes. If a stranger cane in your yard, you offered them a glass of iced tea. If your car broke down on the highway, someone stopped to help you. These times we live in are rank with sickness.
