Why does adventure have to have so much of a violent influence? Bandit Feb 2013 #1
Because no one would read that! bigwillq Feb 2013 #2
Because we call that something else. I believe the word is boring. Demo_Chris Feb 2013 #3

Why couldn't they show kitties or gardening or some such instead of swords and cowboys and such?

you dream, hope, laugh and cry. For a child, they can open a whole new world. They can broaden their intellect. Teach them the difference between what is right and what is wrong.

I see the first as a girl, wishing to be an Astronaut, or a deep sea diver/ explorer, like Jacques Cousteau. The second, a cowboy, that will ride and tame wild stallions a horse whisperer maybe! The third girl, as a Crusader that will seek truth. The last boy, a magician, one that will seek magical ways to make the world a better place!

You see, this is how I imagine them.

Imagination is a beautiful thing. They help shape us. Books teach us that. We can be anything that we want to be.

Our President sure did.

Thank you, Playinghardball. What an excellent graphic!
