, back in the day, you could tell a man's character by his horse and his dog. I bleieve the assumption was that the man trained, through ownership or by raising them, the dog and horse. I think what we are seeing in the industrial/mass media world is the substitution of parenting skills with mass media bombardment. Infants and young children don't get enough time, forget the drivel about "quality" time, with parents of character and skill in nurturing and instilling in their children the essence of character and integrity, of industry and discipline, and of the values and lore of family and (non-media) culture. Too many generations of the average parent were raised without effective parenting, and just don't recognize the difference.What I see in my community is that there are still families that maintain the character and skills of effective parenting. I don't bleieve that the future is universally lost to all; merely making more people aware that there are better ways to raise children could have a profound impact on the next generation. Culture, the values and lore of the life of the community, is simply a personal choice, after all. 'Else there could be no "Occupy" gatherings, no Green Wizard community, no one would change religious affiliation, immigrate to another state, region, or nation and learn to "fit in". We couldn't learn to do a new job, adjust to a new community, new school, or find a new favored author.
