I beleve anyone who throws a mud pie should be part of the solution.. more than the criticizum. *So to me it is NOT a problem to have 5 equal point earners be part of this years "Dist.Ranger's of the Year- PIONEER HONOR PATROL TRAILBLAZER HONOR PATROL *This way it takes away the desire to "Lord" or "Glory" in the singular win, awards something of value to the achiever and set's up a "goal" for the rest of the boy's to earn ta "special level of membership" Ect. and get a "free" pass to Ranger camp fee's!.<G> > > > Sorry partner even in Christian circles when rules are set up for fair play > someone will try to find a loop-hole <that's mankind in a nutshell>. *People allways tell me that before they *THINK about things just a little harder... We often come from "sports-little league mentality or from para-military thinking" as our pool of resource, but "Fair Play" also means running everyone through the "chow line" or being respectfull of each Rangers efforts. With just a little thought, useing the mediphores we have in place with the Code,Pledge,Motto and Patrol orginization.. We can expand "Da Groove" and *Raise the MORALE to begin a re-newed period of effective leadership! Hooray fer "Fair Play" but remember to turn the "table of orgainazation in RR upside down, for the boys, before Leaders!" > > > As for the election please give your sources on the charges of shenanigans > for both sides. *That's over man... later the facts will come out. I just wanted to note that BUSH has a tightrope to walk... and the worst thing he could do is embrace conservitive retoric, the far right or say something against liberal causes. Many Rangerneters want him to preach the Bible or something, but his job *Like he said... is to be the President of ALL the people. *It's his watch- and I think we can agree that we don't need a "wordsmith-primadona or a stiff suit" we need a *Leader! Again, like I said: "High MORALE is the index of effective leadership" Bush's job is to use his office to build bridges, and include people in the positive governing of this great country. GORE gave a hearty speech that was straight out "mighty-fine". Read again, what he said..
