A sense of identity, together with responsibility based on core Christian values was instilled into me by my "old-fashioned" parents in England in the 1960's. That upbringing is virtually non-existent in Britain, except, perhaps, in the most distant and far-flung, isolated communities, yet once it was the norm. <br /><br />Interestingly, having moved to rural West Virginia, where around 90% of folk go to one of the many churches or chapels around here (out here, Church is Family, a concept which the English church has lost), I am revisitng my English childhood, except I WALKED the 2 miles to school. Here, armies of bright yellow school buses charge around the quiet country lanes and laughing kids are dropped off here and there, with books, coats,bags and musical instruments. These children are intelligent and polite. They are taught respect for their elders. Most come from families that are "poor" by American standards--materially anyway. In West Virginia, One in Six of the population is on food stamps. On Halloween the roads are closed in our local town, and the kids gather for their fancy dress parade. No smoking, no alcohol--just hundreds of happy, laughing kids in the cold, carrying lighted pumkpins and candles, in their witches' hats and ghoulish outfits. These kids are aged from around 10 to 17, and their behaviour is impeccable. All the children in this town get to watch the Remembrance Parade on 11/11. Soldiers, serving and veteran, visit every classroom in every school to talk about what "Remembrance" means. THEY will not forget in a hurry. Two veterans sit together inside Walmart sporting their Navy veteran ballcaps, and school-kids salute them. <br /><br />Many, many parts of the US have become crime-ridden hellholes but the folks in "poor" looked-down on, rural "White European" areas such as West Virginia (and the state is 97.5% white, the third POOREST state with the third LOWEST crime rate..) retain so much of what Britain has sadly lost. <br /><br />On a darker note, I am sure that West Virginia is well in the sights of Washington's Common Purpose Elite for Cultural Massacre and Diversification but it will certanly be one of the last to fall.NoisySiamesenoreply@blogger.com
