[Revelation 911]

our support has always been polite to begin with - as a kid - Mom was active with my sisters...cooking eggs on rocks and learning not to use shale when doing so etc.... When my own daughter began, their outings were hotel based and offered nothing in the way of out door skills. In fact it seemed they were groomed for a decidedly female stereotype of shopping and self pampering....despite the rhetoric of building socially adept females.

We enjoyed the cookies - but always found the manner of parents hawking them at work to be counter to the intent.

That said - Boy Scouts/ girl scouts or school students - none should be hawking products to fund this or that - our taxes are meant for that

“our taxes are meant for that”
I wholeheartedly disagree! We’re taxed too much, and for a million wrong and wasteful reasons.
All businesses and entities should stand on their own merit, not be funded by my money. If I want a service or product, I’ll buy it.
Subsidies of every sort should be ended, the NEA, PBS, NPR, etc. should be funded by those who desire them. If I run a crappy business that no one wants, it should fail.
