Who’s picking your berries?

I have to fault Drudge for the headline:
6 YEAR OLDS CAUGHT WORKING ON FARMS

Imagine the horror! Six-year-olds actually being taught to work for money. Cesar Chavez is upset. Well, he’s dead, but his union is upset that six-year-olds would actually work on the family farm during the summer. Therefore taking jobs away from his unionized illegal alien union. Typical union crap. Typical ‘Drive-by Media’ story. They never support family, family farms, etc.

I wasn’t six, I was twelve the first time I had an opportunity to work on a farm. It was a summer job, I was supposed to ‘detassel’ corn. But to get the job, I had to have a Social Security Number. Mom said if I wanted the job, I got to call and apply for one.

Yes, I was twelve before I even had an SSN number. I’ve often wondered how my life would be different if I’d never made that call. Nowadays they assign you one at birth.

Anyway, I’ve no problem with six-year-olds picking berries. They are currently out of school, and they are closer to the ground. Educate them that work is good, unlike some rioters in Britain.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
