The Code of the West

Posted by Terry Van Veen  |  POST A COMMENT

This might be a good idea for Alberta! The code of the west has become the law of the land in Wyoming. From now on, the aptly nicknamed Cowboy State will require officials to dedicate themselves to the wholesome, down to earth values epitomized by heroes like Roy Rogers, Gene Autry and Hopalong Cassidy.

The new bill is based on the book "Cowboy Ethics: What Wall Street Can Learn From the Code Of The West."

Here are the 10 rules of Wyoming's Cowboy Code, though violating them does not carry any criminal penalties, partner:

  • Live courageously.
  • Take pride in your work.
  • Finish what you start.
  • Do what's necessary.
  • Be tough but fair.
  • Keep promises.
  • Ride for the brand.
  • Talk less and say more.
  • Remember that some things aren't for sale.
  • Known where to draw the line.
