I am sure he considered that possibility. If he bought hundreds of cases of cookies, this would appear to be a point of principle for him. And one, might I add, that he should be praised for making. Highly. I can't believe half the stuff I hear on the news any more. Not that I *believed* it, befo

it happens! This article also gives more detail on a point that had been puzzling me -- where the anti-GG people got the idea that Girl Guides support abortion or even Planned Parenthood: "They're not against it. If you're not against it, you're for it." Alrighty. OK then. I guess we are all in
