That is true. it's not so much the farm thing as an inherent ethic...we all need to work to contribute to the family.

I made an observation years ago concerning the Asians...this is not a hateful observation...just an observation. (Ignore some of the stereotypes...but they are what they are)...for instance...

An Asian family will spend all their money to send a member to the USA. He goes to work for an Asian restaurant. He works night and day..he sleeps on the floor with 6 others and saves every dime. A couple years later he gets enough money together and he sends for another member of the family. They work, save their money eating rice and drinking water....then they send for a third. A few more months and they open their own restaurant. They become wealthy and send for more relatives. Do you see a pattern here? If you don't, then you don't understand the power of family...this is why we are un-raveling.

This is what "WE" used to do...then we got lazy, entitled and oblivious.
