That's true that I think we all object to their particular exclusion; however, I'm trying to normalize that with, say, a church. For example, I have lots of Catholic and Jewish friends who's organizations are both non-profit (government affiliated) and exclusionary, but I routinely attend their church/synagogue events such as Fish Frys, weekend events, sometimes even services (on Christmas I usually go to Episcopalian services even though I'm not exactly sure what that is). Put another way, while I'm not a card carrying member, I don't shun them nor their events. In kind it would seem consistent that I shouldn't shun Boy Scout events. But maybe there's something I'm missing ... BTW - the reason this started is because I bought Boy Scout wreathes from a neighborhood kid. My wife felt like that was "support" for BSOA whereas I look at it as more support for the kid. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Enterprise web applications, build robust, secure scalable apps today - Try it now ColdFusion Today ColdFusion 8 beta - Build next generation apps Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:245860 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
