I was viewing a sci-fi western movie I taped from last night and had an epithemy. I have been viewing movies for over 50 years,all kinds of movies.

Let me regress from the main point I will make in this rant, how many of you have been to a circus, a zoo, or any place where animals are kept. Its easy to assume that most if not all of us have enjoyed a good laugh at the zoo or the circus seeing the elephants or the horses go potty. What memories we shared with love ones seeing the shovel brigade clean it up.

Now getting back to the movies ,with the focus on westerns, i have never seen in all my years viewing these great films,and some westerns are supposed to be authentic recreations, a horse deficate or urinate , or for that matter, any horse chips in the towns street.

How could this be,did every town have its shovel brigade? This shoveler is the best kept secret of western civilization, I feel a statue honoring these brave people, who went out in all kinds of weather,all year round, deserve their kudos from society.
