I'm not sure how conscious John Paul II was in the last couple of years before he went. He often looked half asleep to me. Seriously, though. Tough job. I wouldn't want it for that reason alone.

I know there is a great one-liner in there. I love Groucho. I just recognize the reference. Help me out. Ha! Found it!

OK. To address your (loaded) question, I think anyone who is excluded from an organization should feel free to form their own and show the previous organization up. I think that was true with blacks just as it is with gay people today. However, you are comparing apples and oranges. Gays today have a tough fight in some quarters, but it is completely unlike what blacks faced in the South at one time. That's why I describe your question as loaded. To Wendy's point (and I think she and I are mostly in agreement), I considered the education of youth aspect. The problem is, parents decide to put their children in BSA. If we tell them that their decision is wrong and their children should be trained another way...wow. We already do this to some extent in public schools. We're going to go into private organizations next? How far is that from telling churches what they can teach? It's a step that I don't care to take. If the parents want to put pressure on BSA, fine. If contributors want to exert pressure, fine. Personally, I don't want to tell them how to run their organization. I don't want to tell gay people how to live their lives. I think what comes around goes around. I don't want anyone telling me how to live my life, who to associate with, or how to have sex. So, I leave others alone as well. Do I think BSA is off the mark? Sure. Do I think they will eventually change? Yup. Is it my place to force them to my worldview? Not a chance. I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet.. But do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course.

Aren't you doing the very thing that you accuse them of? You are saying they have to accept something they don't want to. You are insisting they have to live the way you want them to.

OK, you made me smile. But I feel compelled to boo your joke anyhow. I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet.. But do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course.

Mmmmm... Keep in mind that the BSA is a private organization. I don't see why they can't regulate their membership as they choose. I continue to thing that there is nothing wrong with gay Scout Leaders. I think people are confusing gay with pedophile. But, I support any organization's right to affiliate with whomever it chooses. If there is a reason they don't want me in their organization, I don't care to be a part of their organization. I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet..

Semi-amusing story about that. A couple of years ago, I had a guy who kept sending me messages asking if he could get the unedited versions of pics I had posted on a bodybuilding forum. It was clear that I was nude when the pic was taken, but all the naughty bits were edited out. He was very polite / charming about it. Every once in a while, he would send me a message to see if I had changed my mind. It was always charming or witty. I was flattered, but he wasn't getting anywhere. I was always polite when I declined. I figured it was probably similar to what women go through, although I'm sure some guys aren't nearly as charming about it.

I don't understand the insanity quote applied to skydiving. I do the same thing over and over expecting the same result...I have fun safely. The 'different result' would be going splat. I don't expect that. I avoid it. As to Dorner...I've tried to explain before on here...not sure it gets through...the difference between cops and criminals is slight. They are not polar opposites. They are not on opposite ends of the spectrum. They are on slightly different sides of a very dim line in the exact middle of the spectrum. They are the battleground between good and evil. I'm not sure I can explain it better than that unless you've been there. I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet..

Actually, I consider that a pretty good point. I've been in cultures where the women had no desire to embrace the US idea of 'equal'. The women recognized that there is significant power in being a woman if you know how to use it. And they knew how to use it. Obviously, there are downsides to being a woman. But keep in mind that there are downsides to being a man as well. I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet..
