This is why FR is so great. Thank you for that ray of illumination. With a handle and tag like yours, you must be a Virginian. Always liked the Virginia state motto. BSA may have dodged a bullet today. The months running up to the next annual National business meeting over May 22-24 at the Gaylord Texan Hotel in Grapevine, TX, should be interesting to say the least.
Yep, VA but lived a lot of other places, and worked with Brock when on an Executive Council (community based council of business leaders). Yes the upcoming meeting will be interesting. The real message to BSA needs to be— stop taking the money from corporatists who subscribe to the greater agenda that compromises Boy Scout values as originally envisioned. It is the incoming leaders from these outfits that think they will change the organization to their agenda (one wonders what their predilection is)- they need to be voted OUT, removed, contrary to the charter. Period.
It is a private organization, and should resist the “expansionist” agenda that requires more and more donations with strings. Tell verizon, et al to pound sand, and go private donation only— no united way, nothing like that— accept corporate that has no strings. There are enough legacy Scouts to support this, including Scouts who may have suffered assault. It would mean a smaller leaner organization which true Americans would want their children involved with for ALL the correct reasons, and with the expectation their child would not be compromised.
Just realized reading over the link, that somewhere in the Smithsonian is a photo of Wellesley freshwoman Hillary Clinton (but I bet not). Would be interesting from the perspective of “what in the hell did bill see in her?” Cause later a manlier woman was her look, and one unfortunate misguided child.
That all is personal, not political, but when trying to figure out why someone is such a failure (despite all dem PR efforts to tell us how great she is)- it could complete the picture. sad really, except it got an ambassador killed (him notably homo, too).
