Actually, it's lacking in a great many. Many kids today would rather spend time in front of the computer or on their smart phones wasting hour after hour on social media. This is much to their detriment and causes multiple social disorders. Many studies have been undertaken which prove this is the case for many youngsters today. Additionally, the "Everyone's a Winner and Everyone Gets a Trophy" mentality the progressives have forced upon us are doing the younger generations no favors.

I agree with you that it is indeed nice to see an individual such as Allie showing interest in competing - and excelling.

l told my pap and mam I was going to be a mountain man; acted like they was gut-shot. Make your life go here. Here's where the peoples is. Mother Gue, I says, the Rocky Mountains is the marrow of the world, and by God, I was right.
