 Educating kids is more than the 'Three R's... education should be looked at holistically.... so kids should be learning about all aspects of life,  from an economic standpoint (woefully neglected in many US public schools) to a moral and ethical vision.... all in addition to the usual subjects.

Thanks also goes to the cowboys up at The Bull Riding School run by Gary Leffew. Turns out the man's horn became stuck on after his body impacted the steering wheel, the fellows at Leffew's place heard the horn blaring, and came to investigate. They summoned proper medical care and the man is off to a good (miraculous some say) [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[   It is this extra bit that has me stymied.  We don't really make any money doing this cactus business. All of our money goes to shipping, governmental fees of several thousand dollars yearly in order to maintain our licenses, permits, and associated fees and overhead expenses.  Knowing that this trip will lead us into negative financial territory makes me reluctant to want to go.  Knowing that due to these regulations, we must take  a sample of our water and have it analyzed monthly at unknown costs.... I have for the first time in these many years had serious thoughts to stop all production, stop the business, and plow the cactus into the ground, and have just a family garden in the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[   Whether it be substance abuse, war memories, physical/mental abuse, physical trauma or just plain old loss of love or loved ones.... what can you tell a person?  We know that in time most wounds heal, although they leaves scars.... but scars are the knitted-tougher and tougher filaments of material, designed to keep that area less susceptible to further injury.  And a broken bone, if well set and healed, will be stronger than original. [...]]]></description>

The mother had gotten hit by a car, and he'd heard the little ones mewing in the bushes.
When he got them from the bushes, the majority were dead, and the two still alive were just barely hanging on.
We took them in and forced them to take 'kitten milk replacer'.
We force-fed them as they were dehydrated and wanting to give up and [...]]]></description>
