Jose,
Having a Democratic vote for any issue in Rangers
is not going to keep people from complaining about the changes. Especially if we
look at how people react to real life voting. They still complain.
It is a wonderful thought. Let me ask you about the
government set up of your local church. Does every member or attendee vote on
all issues regarding church policies? Usually it is the board or deacons who do
the voting and the congregation can either live with it or leave.
No flames intended. Just some food for
thought.
God Bless,
Bob Triphahn

Then perhaps things need to change. Perhaps the Royal
Ranger program needs
to be more Democratic than what we have now.
This program is not the US
Congress or Senate. STOP WITH ALL THE
POLITICS! This is suppose to be a
Christian ministry after all.
A democratic vote would put to rest all of
these controveries that have
been popping up in RangerNet like the new
program and the issue of women
and girls in the Royal Ranger program. If
all of these changes are
done democratically as Marvelous suggested then no
one would/should
complain because the "majority" has spoken. The nation
would know
that the MAJORIY of rangers agree or disagree on the subject at
hand
instead of what we have now. I think sending ballots using
the
leadership structure (National => Regional => District =>
Sectional => Area
=> Outpost) would be a great idea.
