Interesting! Then look around. The boy scouts aren't even what they

dominate the organizations and are VERY picky. (why are the rich so
stupid, self-centered and repugnant?--that is the question :-( )

No one wants to be a republican anymore--the republicans just aren't
what they used to be (nor are they what they claim to be today!)

republicrats and democans)

The world has changed and control freaks are in control. To borrow a
