just to be clear, i have no problem with you sending your kids out to the field 14 hours a day. even on dangerous tasks, so long as they are prepared to mitigate the dangers that come with. it will do them very well, possibly better than college.My kids plow the fields, sure hope they never get ran over by the tractor or ripped to pieces by an auger ( some Kid in Iowa lost both arms to one). Or back up into a power line, get kicked by a mule. Hey Farming is only the 3rd most dangerous job in the USA. Cops got it easy compared to my kids. They get a lot more than my Kid's $5 a week. And they don't have to get up at the crack of daylight either, sleeping in until 6:30 is for the lazy people.
my objection is with windsblow and his retarded assertion that an 11 year old can make informed decisions about his worth as a worker and the safety of his work conditions.
i made some turkey enchiladas for my wife tonight, served with spanish rice and refried beans. those refried beans have gotten to me, and some winds are blowing around here right now, and it is not the most pleasant of odors.
now i know how windsblow got his username. his posts remind me of the aroma around here right now.
