If I understand correctly, the BSA is saying that *anyone* can be a part of their organization as long as they're willing to comply with a certain value set which doesn't seem any different than a church. Further I would say that the strength of our country is that you CAN have exclusive groups, *but not discriminatory groups*. That's a tolerant, but egalitarian society. E.g, your Star Trek club. While anyone regardless of race, color, or creed can join, the expectation is that they are a Star Trek enthusiasts and will contribute to the overall intellectual capital of the group. If you and I joined and mocked all of the members, we'd get kicked out, and rightly so. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| 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:245802 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
