I find it hard to believe they've "always" been a "spirtual" movement, not Judeo-Christian. Wasn't this like an immediate response to the development of Boy Scouts?

And how is it that the male-based scouts remains so morally strong, while the female-based watered down thru the years? Isn't it ironic that the sex often accused of tendencies to debauchery and licentiousness managed to keep things together, while the "fairer sex" let things slide and become repugnant?

I've known about this stuff for sometime, thanks to American Family Association. They print stories about these things that the general public won't hear for another 10 years, but whatever AFA says "comes out" eventually in the mainstream. It's not shocking to me to see stories about GSA and lesbians, abortions and sex ed.

Feminism. GSA got feminized a few decades back and its been downhill since.

That's because we men know what we would be like if we gave in to our primal urges. We would destroy the world, and women and children would become chattal again. Thus, we live our lives controlling that dark inner beast. At least most of us do. In the words of Conan the Barbarian:

"What is best thing in the world?"

"To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and hear the lamentations of their women."

I don't think we want to live in a world like that again.
