Shows you not much has changed since Will Rogers was around.Just things on a bigger scale.
ReplyDeleteWill Rogers made movies as well.He could rope a calfs front legs and rear legs at the same time with 2 separate loops-with one rope- while on horseback!It actually looked like a figure 8 when he threw it.I've never seen that done since,but in 70 or so years since his death someone most likely has.My point is that he had amazing abilities other than just his remarkable quotes.
ReplyDeleteWill Rogers funny writings taught me so much about the Democrat/Republican game as a kid. He was one of the few mainstream voices from history i identified with. He is a true American Hero in my book.
