No Steve, you will not end up on my ignore list. Its a VERY short list. Just ranters and thread closers go there. Not seeing that stuff helps keep me on an even keel.

You are correct, Miss America is private as well as BSA. BSA should not accept funds. I have not kept up with that issue, so I know not where I speak. Its just that some very basic "institutions" are being "subjugated" to "the cause". Soon Miss America contestants will be screened on matters of public policy. Like any of them really know what public policy is! Was that sexist? A stereotype? Yup. And it saddens me. If Apple Pie could speak (and had a pulpit) it too would find itself being subjugated to the cause. Perhaps baseball is next. Speaking of, what is up with the BoSox? I got my jacket out and wear it everyday (till it gets hot, which should be any day now).
