Re:*gasp* Libertarian Linux Programmer supports BS (Score 1)

"...infiltration by Mormon's"? wow, last time I checked, the BSA was pretty equally split in its support between the Catholics, Methodists and yes, Mormons. All three of these groups offer a great deal of financial backing because as a whole the scouting program is very expensive as a whole to run. I did not see the Penn and Teller special, so I cannot speak to it. When I want information I go to the source and not to a biased or agenda based show for my facts. I am an Eagle Scout, and have been a scout leader for over eleven years, and yes, I am LDS. I for the most part I liked your post; how it focused on the positive aspects of scouting - how it can give structure and guidance to young men who are still defining who they are. I was just thrown by the 'infiltrated' part - as far as I know, we don't dictate what the scouting program actual IS, we use it for the excellent program that it offers our youth; teaching skills, service and the basis for a moral based life. Powell was an amazing man and he laid the foundation for a great program. Back to the actual point of the original article, what a great opportunity for some skilled programmers to help a group that does its best to help guide youth. PS - I am not posting AC, but appreciate your reasons.
