The Code of the West

Don't believe that our culture is infused with heathen values? Compare this secular list to the Nine Noble Virtues. Nary a difference.

If, on the other hand, you believe that we're more inspired by the "Judeo-Christian" ethic, I invite you to compare these to the Ten Commandments, the Beatitudes or other Christian teachings. A few similarities, but lots of differences.

I'm just sayin'...

I use the term, "code of the west," a lot to signify all those things that are so great about our industry but are kind of unspoken intangibles. Of course, there never was a formal code truly defined, and I've read that Zane Gray first actually used the term, which has nothing to do with geography but rather a mindset.

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
