The Cowboy Code




Source of Recipe


Posted by JB at Mimi's Kitchen Table (From Character Counts)


List of Ingredients




"I grew up in much simpler times. Television was in its infancy and the idea of hero was exemplified in the white-hatted cowboy.
There was a clarity and simplicity to the moral code of these heroes that left no doubt that there is a right and wrong.

As I became more sophisticated, it was easy to ridicule these simplistic approaches to ethics and living. Yet the more I learn, the more I've come to think that there's as much danger in complexifying our choices into endless shades of gray.

Sure, there are extenuating factors and exceptions that challenge the validity of every ethical principle but, on balance, we need clear prescriptive guidelines of virtue. Such guidelines are provided in the quaintly old-fashioned Cowboy Code promoted by the late Gene Autry."--JB

THE COWBOY CODE


1. The cowboy must never shoot first, hit a smaller man or take unfair advantage.

2. He must never go back on his word or a trust confided in him.

3. He must always tell the truth.

4. He must be gentle with children, the elderly and animals.

5. He must not advocate or possess racially or religiously
intolerant ideas.

6. He must help people in distress.

7. He must be a good worker.

8. He must keep himself clean in thought, speech, action, and personal habits.

9. He must respect women, parents, and his nation's laws.

10. The cowboy is a patriot.


With a little updating, this code still works.

This is Michael Josephson reminding you that character counts.
