Is there no limit to what big $$ corporations can do to our nation?? Now they've infected the one true thing that I honestly believe in, the good brotherhood of Boy Scouts. The next thing you know they'll start branding political nonsense into the Scout Oath or some crap.


Does anybody reading this understand where our nation is headed? With all our rights being written over, and the political machine (+ the army) going so far as to air racist propoganda to serve their needs, it's like the US has regressed 50 years! How can people be so deluded or outright stupid that they would put this kind of evil in power? How/!?

Alright, rant over. Now really, who will take this new merit badge seriously? Is there a Scout alive today who doesn't download music illegally? This taints the LA Scouts, or at least their leadership.

I first learned, through the Cub Scouts, the dangers of drugs and smoking, and have yet to bow to any vice because of this. Cigarettes, weed, coffee, energy drinks - they're all the same, all vices that corrupt your body while giving a temporary high. This was the lesson the Scouts taught me, a rule that defines who I am. Later I learned about leadership, budgeting, comrodery...important things, none of them trivial. To hear that a new merit badge is based around the need to 'educate kids' about the dangers of not paying the RIAA money really enrages me, and I don't get mad at the drop of a hat. This is just ridiculous, and I sincerely hope that NOBODY goes for it.
