Barrel of Monkeys: Genesis in Reverse: Supreme Court declines to hear Lesbian couple's suit against Boy Scouts

BARREL OF MONKEYS: "GENESIS" in Reverse

I consider myself a Democrat. Been called a Socialist. Definitely a bleeding heart liberal.

As a child from a traditional southern family, playing Barrel of Monkeys on the floor, church every Sunday, doing well in public school, learning a trade; in every sense privileged .........

Comfortable in middle age, an avid news reader, on learning the tragic story of a full grown chimpanzee destroying the face of a woman who offered a toy, only trying to help it's owner coax her surrogate child back into his cage......

Today being confrontational, ribald, offensive, restless, rebellious.......

How did I get here from there?

Supreme Court declines to hear Lesbian couple's suit against Boy Scouts - CSMonitor.com

Supreme Court declines to hear Lesbian couple's suit against Boy Scouts - CSMonitor.com: "In the San Diego case, a federal judge has ruled that a $1-a-year lease arrangement between the City of San Diego and the Boy Scouts for a Boy Scout-run campground and aquatic center violated the establishment clause.

The judge ruled that the Boy Scouts were the equivalent of a religious group, in part because the Boy Scout oath urges its members to do their “duty to God and [their] country.”"

Like to hear their definition of "their" as in '"duty to "their" country."' How is one doing duty to their country and be exclusionary ? Sounds so self serving.

Funny! Was both Cub Scout and Boy Scout; as well as recipient of the Daughter's of American Revolution Good Citizenship's Award, eleventh grade high school.

Camp Pioneer

Fondly remember the two summers spent at Boy Scout camp, located lower Ouachitau Mountains of Arkansas.

Have no pictures that I've taken, but found some pics online taken at Camp Pioneer around the same I was there.
