    I was a child laborer…

    And frankly, I think I’m better off for it!!

    Growing up on a farm, my cousins and I were driving tractors at age 6, dragging bales of hay across a hot hayloft at 8-10.

    We learned the value of work–and it was just part of life.

    While I agree that kids can be abused in this manner, I tend to think they’re a lot worse off by what they watch on TV at ages 6-10.

    Don’t these people have anything better to do…
    …than sit in front of the computer all day and whine on weblogs about “liberals”?

    Little Hands…
    Child laborers also have those little hands that can reach into the cotton gins when the cotton gets all tangled up.
