I call BS on that one. My grandkids are All-American kids who can saddle and ride a horse, rope and brand, cut and stack firewood, shovel snow and pick up dog poop. They all have friends who do the same and more. They compete in sports and excel in school.

Don't paint with such a broad brush, there's lots of great young people around and they deserve a lot more credit than they get.

yeah, here in downstate new York, we don't do a lot of riding, roping or branding. this here is one of the most populated places you ever did see. BIG. BIG difference between my home and yours. sports wise, both my boys are exceptional at basketball, maybe scholarship material...... but here in the big city, having never had to saddle a horse, our kids are a bit softer.
