Hect, It's funny b/c I was just thinking about Gunsmoke today and wondering why I don't get it anymore on my cable system and wondering if you still get it on yours ? My cable company seems to to have a dalliance of putting shows on from the 50s and 60s, then they stop :-( . I was just enjoying the Beverly Hillbillies again, when they stopped putting it on the air.........and other shows of that era. :-(

The first programme I watched, on our first TV was Gun law Matt Dillon and his deputy Chester. Chester had an artificial leg I think, 1959 . After that all the boys in the village had gun holsters , toy guns, cowboy hats , and re enacted the part. During the school holidays we would go off for hours across the fields, and not come back until we had killed all the outlaws. Those were the days.

I liked to watch westerns and had guns of my own until I was 25. I suddenly understood that the purpose of guns is to kill or be killed. So I looked for a third option. I did not want to kill anyone and folks without guns and low on cash and treasures are less likely to be shot. Getting out of the way of folks with guns is smarter than a face-off. Those westerns lost their appeal as a result. The spy movies depict folk who kill for some form of secret. Lies were just as hazardous and after considering this problem, I found that abandoning lies and secrets freed my mind to study and understand honesty better. Life is, to me, a path of discovery where honesty and interest gives me all I really like.

Whoa. I liked Gunsmoke. Miss kitty turned out to be lesbian in real life, married a gay council member and they both died of aids here in Austin. Can’t help but think of that when I watch the reruns……..

Later edit : Yup, you're right, Jh. She died of aids in 1989 of aids. My dad died in 1985.
One link I just read said it was thought that she got aids from her 4th husband, who was known to be openly bi-sexual. He died of it too. Also , she smoked 3--4 packs of cigarettes per day. She had surgery for oral cancer.

Not me! I cheat, you'd have a hole in ya before you swiveled your hi-tech holster. Cheating pays off in these situations. :)

BTW: I used to have an old WW2 Enfield, .303 cal. Like getting kicked in the shoulder by a bull elephant.
