- Get real, you are attributing words and attitudes to the Scouts that are
- just not true. I have read all of the press releases from national and
- the statements in the Scouting magazine that all BSA leaders receive.
- No where in any of this does BSA ever claim to be superior or this
- prepare to die BULLSHIT! All BSA is claiming is that as a private
- organization they have a constitutional right to decide their own
- membership policies. They have taken great care in explaining that they
- are not condemning gays or athesists. They have never claimed that they
- have a right to UW funding. In fact the official statement from
- national denies that BSA even backs a boycott of Levis. You may not
- agree with their decision to exclude gays or athesists from membership
- or leadership positions, but as a private organization they are entitled
- to do so. Writing inflamatory crap like "Prepare to die" doesn't do
- much for the credibility of your argument.
