duty to god and my country

And now a pause in our bucolic maunderings.
I have always maintained that the Boy Scouts (and other scouting spinoffs) are like paramilitary groups, with their oaths and uniforms, medals and hierarchies. The Boy Scouts of America, founded in 1910 as part of an international scouting movement (Nazi youth, anyone?), boasts over five million members, most of them white and none of them homosexual. Legally. The organization that sponsors the most troops (!) is the Mormon church. Un-huh. And now, look at this picture and read this. Terrifying.
