Out of all those jobs, had I been a young man then, I think the legger was the least danger to ones health. At least you had healthy air, and if you stayed strong, you would only get stronger and earn more.

You could not do it forever and at some point it would be worse for you.

To be a poor child then is something unimaginable today. But the Republicans are trying their best for those good old days.
