Subject: RE: BS: 'Cowboy' : UK usage only ?
ha-rumph...
way out here in the wild west we respect cowboys.
Those of us who enjoy cowboy poetry and music do
not think about these negative images...associated
with COWBOY. The strength, endurance and co-operation
needed to drive herds of cattle on the trail through
rough terrain for little compensation would not allow
a lesser person to succeed under these conditions.

I rather think of the "Cowboy Way" as a code of
honor, hard work and loyalty.

"Ride for the Brand"

I have to speak in the defense of the cowboy.
