I notice that this site is running an advertisement for one of the law firms seeking clients to sue BSA. It begins, "The Boys Scouts of America didn't uphold their promise, but we will." The express promise of some of these lawyers is to destroy BSA.

"Scoutmaster" from "headmaster." The real mistake is "leader" if you believe in the Patrol method as defined by Bill Hillcourt. where youth leads and adults advise.

It is not a black and white issue. Briefly, the more control that a franchisor exerts over a franchisee and the more that the franchisee can legally bind the franchisor, the more the franchisee looks like a division of the franchisor instead of a separate entity. Conversely, the more independence a franchisee demonstrates, the more it looks independent, rather than being a division of the franchisor. In Golden Spread Council, Inc. # 562 of the Boy Scouts of America v. Akins, 926 S.W.2d 287 (Tex.1996), the Texas Supreme Court considered whether the National Boy Scouts of Am

" When you get a mob in front of you shrieking and pulling at sticks and shield, people become an enemy." They became the enemy when they began attacking. Mobs are neither reasonable, peaceful, or constructive.

"But"?

Any government employee who is proven to have violated civil rights should be removed from his or her government position and prosecuted. So cops should be fired and prosecuted if they violate someone's civil rights - when it is legally established that they are guilty of such actions = due process. The civil rights protected include the right to peacefully protest AND the right to be protected from criminal acts when the police have knowledge of those acts. When government, for reasons of hope for political gain, sloth, or incompetence allows mobs to riot, loot, injure and kill,

Wisconsin officials condemn violence after chaos grips Capitol, state senator shares video of alleged attack on him by rioters. State Sen. Tim Carpenter, D-Milwaukee, was walking to the Capitol building late Tuesday when he encountered the protesters and began recording them. Carpenter said that he was “assaulted and beat up” by eight to 10 people as he took the video. He shared the 11-second footage on Twitter: "I took this pic- it got me assaulted & beat up. Punched/kicked in the head, neck, ribs. Maybe concussion, socked in left eye is little blurry, sore neck & ribs. 8-10 peop

It "means" that when there is a reversion on cessation of a stated required use, the property immediately belongs to the grantor or the grantors estate, not the bankrupt grantee, and the property is not subject to being used to satisfy creditors of the bankrupt grantee This outcome is quite predictable on general property law principles.

Ah, yes. "Reversions" Under such arrangements, BSA does not have title, only a possessory interest for the stated purpose. "Transferring Property on Condition A reversionary interest is created when a deed provides that the property transfer is “on condition that” or “only for so long as” the property described in the deed is used, or not used, for certain purposes. The reservation of a reversionary interest in a deed gives the original owner (and the owner’s heirs, successors and assigns) a powerful tool to take the land back if promises about future land use are broken.

THE IRS HAS BEEN SYSTEMICALLY DEFUNDED OVER THE LAST TEN YEARS. ITS "LEGACY" COMPUTERS AND SOFTWARE CANNOT KEEP TRACK OF NUMBERS, CANNOT APPLY THE LAW, AND CANNOT DO THE ARITHMETIC. Since November, 2018, we have received a series of bizarre and internally contradictory communications from IRS automated systems. For the most part, those systems act autonomously. One series of three bills entitled "CP2000" made an error of 2x our total income in favor of the Government, made an error of $3,600 in our favor, made rounding errors on every single number ending in $.50 or above, sen

A Scout is thrifty. He pays his own way. "Scouting does not accept charity - except when we do."

I am all for police reform. I am also in favor of reforming something so thousands of civilians are not murdered annually by other civilians. I regard you as just as dead when mowed down in a random drive-by as when shot by a cop. Meanwhile in Minneapolis: 11 people shot, 1 person dead in overnight shooting spree." What was that slogan about lives? If you think the "focus" regarding violence is on civilians shooting civilians, I emphatically disagree. Shall we review the top headlines on shootings? I'm game. "Ignorant"? Swell, Eagle. Did you march with Doctor Ki

2013 Annual Financial Report, Note 9 The National Council has been named as a defendant in several lawsuits alleging inappropriate conduct by local council employees or Scouting unit volunteers, including allegations of conduct that did not occur within Scouting and allegations of incidents dating back as far as the early 1960s. The National Council is also aware of threatened and expanding litigation of a similar nature. Most of the cases claim specific amounts of compensatory damages and, in a few cases, unspecified amounts of punitive damages. There continue to be additional lawsu

POPULAR WBGV BUMPER STICKER: ""Earth First! We'll Strip Mine the Other Planets Later." Part of SBR is "repurposed" coal strip mine. "The Scouts bought the land from Meadow Creek Coal Co. for several million dollars, Hartley said. " The acreage thus being repurposed from a surface coal strip mine has been variously described, from the Reservation being "located on" a former strip mine (BSA: "strip-mine-turned-Scout-camp") to only 1500 acres (about 14%) being former strip mine. Such sites routinely create acidic water pollution as runoff leaches sulfur from coal-bear

"Virtue signaling" is a vendor of luxury vacations which I have never heard of sending me an ad in which he asserts "We are all in this together." Or decrying the mind-rending but statistically minor killing of civilians by Police while ignoring the several orders of magnitude greater rates of civilian-on-civilian homicides, typically of like-on-like.

However buys Summit "buys" with it the potential Super Fund liability to "put the tops back on the mountains" - untold hundreds of $millions.

The nature of "virtue signaling" is hypocrisy.

Throwing a rock through the window of some small business is about wealth and power? Drive-by murders of fellow inhabitants of the "inner city"? Children murdering children they do not know? Hitting a 92-year-old woman in the face at random as you pass her on the sidewalk ? The woman hit her head on a fire hydrant as she crashed to the sidewalk. (Under New York's new "bail reform," the attacker was released OOR with an invitation to return to court in a few weeks. He has 103 previous convictions, several for random violence against the elderly - like punching them in the face.

Indian tribes waged wars of annihilation against other tribes. in turn, Europeans were quite happy to kill Indians. In the U.S., especially in California, the myth of the "Yellow Peril" led labor, farmers, conservatives and some "progressives" to public office and resulted in laws barring immigration, naturalization of immigrants, or ownership of land by immigrants. This atmosphere of hate and fear led to concentration camps for most anyone with as much as a single Japanese-born great grandparent with the onset of WW II.

Sorry about the look. Site software problem. Whatever I do, it takes me back to my first post today. I was born in California and stayed there until I was twenty-two, except for 18 months in Canada and a Summer in Seattle. The Lakota told us their tribal tradition is that they once lived near the "Big River." The Navajo, when we visited them, told us their tradition was that, after they came up to this world from below, they crossed the White Lands, where there were white bears.
