  1. You are imaging this scene, per CNN: "18 people face federal charges after arrests at courthouse protests in Portland"
  2. Explorer crews within troops were allowed until the 1959 "improvements" to Exploring.
  3. Oh yah. Back when you could understand the words.
  4. Don't you know any group popular in the last thirty years? stomp stomp clap .
  5. A Laser Flair weighs a few ounces and operates for hours.
  6. In addition to the above, anyone who can remove the COR's BSA membership.
  7. Really? Two deep leadership has been explained over and over. But Einstein was right.
  8. Whatever we think about the BSA rules, their language is unusually clear for BSA - "required," not "preferred." Youth Protection and Adult Leadership Scouting’s Barriers to Abuse The BSA has adopted the following policies for the safety and well-being of its members. These policies primarily protect youth members; however, they also serve to protect adult leaders. All parents and caregivers should understand that our leaders are to abide by these safeguards. Parents and youth are strongly encouraged to use these safeguards outside the Scouting program. Registered leaders must
  9. The raw hate in comments by both extremes is stunning.
  10. Of course, the "woke: were not there at the time, but Frederick Douglass was: "To Grant more than any other man the Negro owes his enfranchisement.” The Legions of Ignorance are unimpressed with the view of Douglass, to the extent they know of Douglass at all: "Protesters in San Francisco on Friday toppled the statue of former President Grant, who led the Union Army during the Civil War, in Golden Gate Park. San Francisco police said that approximately 400 people gathered around 8 p.m. to take down the statue, though no arrests were made, according to NBC Bay Area."
  11. And, one is told, the term "renege is no longer PC - especially in Contract Bridge.
  12. “I read a post today at another site that reminded me that my favorite fictional detective, Harry Bosch, put it so well: "Everybody matters or nobody matters.”
  13. "ROCHESTER, N.Y. 'July 17, 2020] - At the site where escaped, enslaved people once boarded ships to make their way to Canada and freedom, the present met the past on Thursday — with hopes that the future will be impacted. A new statue of abolitionist Frederick Douglass was erected at the Kelsey's Landing site at Maplewood Park in Rochester, the location where Douglass, Harriet Tubman and others shuttled former slaves who had navigated the Underground Railroad en route to Canada. This statue replaced one that was toppled over on July 5. [2020]."
  14. It is likely "plain vandalism." Much of what happened in Cleveland recently was "plain vandalism," "Plain riot," and "Plain looting." I have no evidence whatsoever, not having visited Rochester in many years. I am happy to see that the statue is back up.
  15. I merely did a cut and paste on the headline. As teacher and Scout trainer, I was taught that larger type is easier to read. Apparently, situations alter cases. Here; "Seattle rioters seen damaging, looting stores; police say fire sparked at precinct, officer hospitalized [.]"
  16. SEATTLE Published 3 hours ago Seattle rioters seen damaging, looting stores; police say fire sparked at precinct, officer hospitalized ANTIFA AND SBLM RIOTERS AT WORK TRASHING AND LOOTING SEATTLE. NOW: Antifa Militants and Black Lives Matter rioters are breaking into Amazon Go Downtown Seattle. This protest has turned into a riot. #SeattleProtest #AntifaDomesticTerrorists #seattleriots #BlackLivesMatter Photos available. Police precinct building attacked with Molotov Cocktail - like device. Fire extinguished. City government "leaders" and Congr
  17. First, I was commenting on criminal law, not public awareness or social concern. Manifestly, awareness and concern have risen steadily over the last fifty years. Next, most criminal law is state law, not federal law. So the history of federal law on the topic of sexual abuse of children is hardly dispositive of the topic of when such behavior was a crime, WIKI to the contrary notwithstanding. Federal jurisdiction is, in fact limited. Sex crimes occurring in a single state generally fall under state law. Until relatively recently, many crimes were criminalized by judicial decisio
  18. Teen boy, 17, suspected of shooting 8-year-old girl in East Cleveland drive-by is arrested by US Marshals. She clings to life.
  19. Sexual abuse of children was a crime when these alleged acts of abuse took place. Civil actions for damages based on criminal conduct are older than our Civil War. The logic behind statutes of limitations is that allegations from too long ago are difficult to disprove. Here, the alleged criminals are largely dead, as are the adult witnesses. The plaintiff's bar now has a virtual money-printing machine - thousands of claimants whose allegations cannot be refuted even if - if - totally invented. This logic is ignored in extending limitations period back several generations - another form o
  20. "I said," Newsome told the host, "if this country doesn't give us what we want, then we will burn down this system and replace it. All right? And I could be speaking ... figuratively. I could be speaking literally. It's a matter of interpretation." "I just want black liberation and black sovereignty, by any means necessary." I just love that "by any means necessary." Like they invented it. Do they know why Malcolm X was murdered and by whom? Having been sentenced to hang for "treason" against "our one true Republic of Ohio" by the "common law" "True Supreme Cpour
  21. TSUNAMI WARNING! Of course "racism" exists. One need not have lawyered for the N.A.A.C.P., as I did, to see it. Every culture has its negative slang for the "other," and difference in "race," along with religion, politics, culture and ethnicity, mark the "other." See, e.g., Liberal, Republican, Conservative, Anti-Semite, Racist, Christian, Muslim, Nuffie, Mackerel Snapper, Spic, Bible Beater, Red Neck, Boong, Gin, Ape, Af, Doujin, Egg Plant, Honky, Wog, Kaffir, Chinki, Jakun, Cholo, Ang Mo, Cracker, Gringo, Farang, Gubba, Gweilo, Bohunk, Medigan, Ofay, Uncle Tom, Okie, Peckerwood, Wh
