In the spirit of Thanksgiving, I won't tell you what I think of your post.

Happy holidays, junkie.

The Boy Scouts have given us a couple of pretty good presidents -- I wouldn't let them fight the ACLU and the Gay Lobby all by themselves. I don't like it when powerful, mean-spirited lobbies try to rough up an American icon like the Scouts, just because they won't let gay pederasts home in on the boys.

They'll never have the problem the GSUSA, with leadership cadres that in some communities are loading up with lesbians.

I recently was involved in a community activity near my home in which a number of Girl Scouts showed up. They didn't have on the usual GSUSA outfits (these were girls in their mid-teens), and so I asked their lead Scouter what part of GSUSA they represented, and she replied that they weren't GSUSA but BSA -- they were Venture Scouts (formerly Explorer Scouts) and that all-girl troops had been chartering in Venture Scouts for several years now. Imagine my surprise, and imagine my good guess at why girls are migrating from GSUSA programs over to Venture Scouts, as the Scouter told me they were. I asked her why, and she told me a couple of generalisms about "better programs".

Uyup, I bet.
