I do not sit in front the TV hours on end, but I do enjoy Westerns. One thing I like about the older westerns is that the “good guys” were easily distinguished from the “bad guys.”
One of my all time favorite characters is Gene Autry. It is my understanding that, in real life, as well as on screen, he was a man of the highest integrity. In one episode, another cowboy invited Gene into the saloon for a drink, to which Gene said, “I don’t use alcohol or tobacco, and I don’t gamble. Nothing good will ever come from such things.” Now, there’s a role model!
