1. The BSA prohibits and expels atheists, agnostics and homosexuals, declaring that “no member can grow into the best kind of citizen without recognizing an obligation to God”, and that “homosexuals do not provide a desirable role model for Scouts.” At the same time, this private organization seeks favorable terms for use of public lands and facilities while practicing this discrimination.

2. I find credible the claims that the BSA has tolerated and protected sexual abusers in their organization for many years. The work of reporter Peter Zuckerman formerly at the Idaho Post Falls Register and the documentary “In a small town” which aired on PBS WNET in late 2007 raise troubling questions about a pattern of behavior by the BSA that has been dismissed almost entirely by the major media.

3. This is not the first case of e-coli problems on scouting events. I recall dozens being sickened in Maine, where investigators later determined that the meat had been cooked sufficiently, but that the lettuce had been contaminated by the meat prior to cooking with poor food handling practices.

From the percy pocket dictionary:

normal(adj.): conforming to a particular type, standard or regular pattern of bigotry, hatred or irrational fear.

PS. Nothing wrong with boy scouts descriminating against gays in normal people’s minds.

Another good thought. Mmaybe we can capitalize on that somehow.

“The goodliest land under the cope of heaven.”

Now the beaches are touristy and speculative, nature to be enjoyed in an air conditioned environment from behind a window.

Kinda makes me wonder why golf courses aren’t concrete.

Goshen Falls is one of Virginia’s last unspoiled wilderness areas. Glad your kids loved it, but don’t tell everybody. If you do, that darn northern crowd will descend in droves and condo-ize it like they did the Outer Banks. Oops I just did the same thing. You’ll never get the location of the Bull Pasture River out of me though!
