Not really a plug or even trolling, just shamelessly off-topic. I did have fun in Cub and Boy Scouts as a young boy, but as an adult, I have some serious issues with the organization using it's private status to exclude social groups from membership and leadership[1,2]. My children, if I am fortunate to have any, will not be participating in any BSA sponsored programs. However, this is gravely off-topic now, and we should refrain from discussing this further on-list. ;-) I would be welcome to taking it off-list, however. <shameless troll> I would set the "Reply-To:" field, but that'd be useless on this list. ;-) </shameless troll> References ========== 1. http://www.pbs.org/newshour/extra/features/jan-june00/scboyscouts.ht 2. http://www.cnn.com/2000/LAW/06/28/scotus.gay.boyscouts/ -- Chad Walstrom <chewie at wookimus.net> http://www.wookimus.net/ assert(expired(knowledge)); /* core dump */ -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
