Home with the bells on

  Over the Memorial Day weekend, Glenn met a 94 year old farmer who dispensed some very common sense solutions about how to fix the problems facing the country. He told Glenn about his dad, a mule train driver, who would transport supplies across the land. They were tough guys, some weren’t even that friendly, but they all lived by one rule: if you saw a man on the side of the road who had a flipped wagon, you helped him reload. And if you stopped and helped, the other driver would give you the chain of bells from the mule in the front of his team. The bells were a symbol for honor, and the only way to get another set of bells was to help another person who was stuck. That’s how you got your honor back. The farmer told Glenn that his dad always promised when he left the house that he would be “home with bells on”. In other words, he would always return home with his honor. Wouldn’t it be a better world if people still lived that way?
