I find the BSA ban on gays sad. It certainly goes against many parts of the pledge, etc. As an Eagle Scout, I'm disappointed in their position. But, really, it doesn't matter. Churches are full of doubters, even Jesus had his moment of doubt. And, the scout troops of this country are full of gays, that, in spite of the mean attitude of the National Organization, still love scouting. So it goes.

He wants to get the Trail Blazers up here because the Oregon Legislature-to their great credit- has told him to go buzz off when he's gone asking for tax-payer money to fix up the Rose Garden. So now, he's trying to get his team up here. Shame on him.
