It alludes to the "Cowboy Code". There are several similar versions of it. Below is the one I like best.
Unfortunately this has been largely lost in recent years. Many of today's younger 'cowboys' need to learn this code.
1. A cowboy always tells the truth and keeps his word.
2. A cowboy is a Patriot and defends the American way.
3. A cowboy never betrays a trust or takes advantage.
4. A cowboy is brave, but never careless.
5. A cowboy defends the weak and helps the helpless.
6. A cowboy is kind to women, children and old folks.
7. A cowboy is free from racial and religious prejudice.
8. A cowboy is clean in thought, word, deed and person.
9. A cowboy is loyal, hard working and maintains a high ethic.
10. A cowboy is thankful for what God has given him.

Thanks for leaving your comments. Feel free to be forthright and blunt. I have no problem with disagreement. Please do refrain from using any profanity, bigotry or name calling. All comments are moderated, which means I have to approve them before they will be posted. ANONYMOUS comments will not be published. I put my name on my opinions for all to judge, I will only publish comments likewise submitted.
I'm adding 2 addenda to my comments policy.
1) The invitation to leave comments about my posts is not to be construed as an invitation to endless, pointless debate. I do have a life away from this computer, and don't wish to spend what time I do have lingering on one topic. There's too much going on. Sincere questions will be answered. Questions designed to simply be the starting point for argument may be considered rhetorical.
2) This is MY blog. I have recently discovered the inability of some to remain on topic. I reserve the right to deem comments too stupid to use up my space.
