Dirt Roads...
By Paul Harvey
What's mainly wrong with society today is that too
many Dirt Roads have been paved.
There's not a problem in America today,
crime, drugs, education, divorce, delinquency, that wouldn't be
remedied if we just had more Dirt Roads, because Dirt Roads give
character.
Family Unitity
People that live at the end of Dirt Roads learn early on... that life is a
bumpy ride. That it can jar you right down to your teeth sometimes, but
it's worth it, if at the end is home... a loving spouse, happy kids and
a dog.
Education
We wouldn't have near the trouble with our educational
system if our kids got their exercise walking a Dirt Road with other
kids, from whom they learn how to get along.
Crime
There was less crime in our streets before they were
paved. Criminals didn't walk two dusty miles to rob or rape, if they
knew they'd be welcomed by 5 barking dogs and a double barrel
shotgun.
And there were no drive by shootings.
Personal Values
Our values were better when our roads were worse!
People did not worship their cars more than their kids, and motorists were
more courteous, they didn't tailgate by riding the bumper or the guy in
front would choke you with dust and bust your windshield with rocks.
Dirt Roads taught patience.
Environmentally Friendly
Dirt Roads were environmentally friendly, you didn't hop in your car
for a quart of milk you walked to the barn for your milk.
For your mail, you walked to the mail box.
What if it rained and the Dirt Road got washed out?
That was the best part, then you stayed home and had some family time -
Roasted marshmallows and popped popcorn and pony rides on
Daddy's shoulders ... and you learned how to make prettier quilts than
anybody.
At the end of Dirt Roads, you soon learned that bad words tasted
like soap.
At The End Of A Dirt Road
Most paved roads lead to trouble; Dirt Roads more
likely lead to a fishing creek or a swimming hole. At the end of a Dirt
Road, the only time we even locked our car was in August, because if
we didn't some neighbor would fill it with too much zucchini.
At the end of a Dirt Road, there was always extra springtime income, from
when city dudes would get stuck, you'd have to hitch up a team and
pull them out.Usually you got a dollar ... always you got a new
friend ... at the end of a Dirt Road.
