  1. So is gravity just a theory with equal evidence as Intelligent Falling ?
  2. I realize this is a unique geologic feature, however I find it ironic that society has deemed perfectly fine to blow up entire mountains.
  3. Hehe and if you have an iPhone we have Apple Maps. Still worthless. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/northamerica/usa/10334142/Apple-Maps-glitch-directs-drivers-onto-Alaska-airport-runway.html
  4. We have simultaneous RT for Cubs and BS and I attend whichever one is not covered by another leader. We had a great one last spring on troop interent presence. Three troops demonstrated their solutions using a projector with lots of Q&A. It was great. Our district also offers pressurized fuel training immediately after RT most months. For cubs my favorite is to show me HOW to make it fun without spending tons prep time or money. Something the national should be doing.
  5. A boss of mine had a mantra "bring me solutions, not problems." I dont think he would have been happy if my solution was to fire everyone and shut down the company.
  6. Do that DC and you will look like Hip-Hop Scout.
  7. While I agree, Webelos is to much book work and low on adventure, where do you see the problem in the lower Scout ranks ? I see very little book work. Sure there is some like reading about plants and the identifying them or reading about first aid and then demonstrating what you learned. Is the problem with the program or with all the other opportunities available. In my world the biggest competitor is hyper competitive sports. It's all about teams, leagues, tournaments and trophies, not about having fun playing a game.
  8. Whatever you think will happen to wait times.....at least you will have to opportunity to receive non urgent care. If you think there is a better way to provide care it needs to be proposed and debated. Where were the proposals from the other side ? What did Bush propose ? Stripping the ACA of funding streams is not fixing it. If there are plans to fix shortfalls, let's hear them ? Can you honestly say the system "works" ? I am open to limiting health care options for those less able to afford premium care. Anytime you bring that up someone on the right starts yelling "Death Panels!"
  9. Our troop does that. Unfortunately $30-$40 for a wreath is to steep for the houses around me. One person bought a swag for $20.
  10. The simple fact remains a huge proportion of health care dollars are spent at the end of life. Until we as a nation are willing to address this issue we cannot hope to fix the structural problems. Unfortunately whenever the subject is brought up politicians start screaming "Death Panels!"
  11. Oh yeah, lots of people bought it. I couldn't find a link to the original on YouTube, but lots of other people have duplicated it with success. Repeal the 19th amendment. Sadly the media has allowed its detractors to label the ACA as Obamacare. It was intended as a derogatory term. As Obama said himself, in a couple of years they won't be calling it that anymore.
  12. I saw that a couple of weeks ago, beautiful. My other favorite was on the Man Show when a Jimmy and Adam set up a booth at a market collecting signatures to end Women's Suffrage.
  13. While we are at this, should se debate if this is an award Scouters can earn or just Scouts ? Does your camp award this to Scouters .
  14. Don't tell them that. My imagination would include pretty girls in bikinis.
  15. Lets not forget about all the contractors who were fuloughed without pay. They have been left in the dust.
  16. Seemed to play out fairly well for him from what I can discern. Unless you are referring to posthumous. In no way am I suggesting we need a Lord Protectorate, but our system is broken. We need leaders who want to govern, not tear down the government.
  17. Oliver Cromwell Speech - Dissolution of the Long Parliament Dissolution of the Long Parliament by Oliver Cromwell given to the House of Commons, 20 April 1653 It is high time for me to put an end to your sitting in this place, which you have dishonored by your contempt of all virtue, and defiled by your practice of every vice; ye are a factious crew, and enemies to all good government; ye are a pack of mercenary wretches, and would like Esau sell your country for a mess of pottage, and like Judas betray your God for a few pieces of money. Is there a single virtue now remaining amongst you? Is there one vice you do not possess? Ye have no more religion than my horse; gold is your God; which of you have not barter'd your conscience for bribes? Is there a man amongst you that has the least care for the good of the Commonwealth? Ye sordid prostitutes have you not defil'd this sacred place, and turn'd the Lord's temple into a den of thieves, by your immoral principles and wicked practices? Ye are grown intolerably odious to the whole nation; you were deputed here by the people to get grievances redress'd, are yourselves gone! So! Take away that shining bauble there, and lock up the doors. In the name of God, go!
  18. Think we can get the BSA to add Congressman as a POR ?
  19. "RUSH: Now, look, I’m not living in a false reality here. I was thinking about this last night, too, while I was pondering if I can ever remember a greater political disaster in my lifetime, if I could ever remember a time when a political party just made a decision not to exist for all intents and purposes."

  20. I have now seen pigs fly. I tried to find this on Fox News, but they seem to have missed it.
  21. Hey Brew, what happened in the 96 House elections ?
  22. The implication seems to be no OA elections. When we do the out of council election form we have to sign saying we will camp in council the following year. I mentioned this before and was resoundly told by this board "they can't do that". I just haven't looked into it yet to see what the real deal is. Maybe they are just trying to intimidate.
  23. Opps. Unconditional Surrender by Wednesday !
