[QUOTE="Raido Free America, post: 4013520, member: 45328"] I have read accounts of men being sentenced to HANG, then being released to get their crops in, and affairs in order, on THEIR WORD to show up for their OWN HANGING, and they did!! I guess this was societal expectations, the way they were raised, where HONOR was more important than, life its self?? We could use a little of that now, don't you think? My father, and mother, were one, if not the first, to go into the commersial chicken business in the Ozarks. They worked their rear off, seven days a week, for several years! They owned the chickens, had to buy the feed, medication, etc, now all thoes things are provided by the Corporation's, like Tyson. They had a lot of debt, and no insurance! A tornado came through one night, I just barely remember it, and distoyed everything including our house. That is when we moved to Oklahoma. They still owed all that money, some loaned on a hand shake, but they worked and payed every Penney back, even though it took several years! I suspect they didn't even know anything about, bankruptcy laws, they weere not well educated, people, but they were HONORABLE PEOPLE!! [/QUOTE]
