Hi there, E,

Argh, another 100 posts to read. I just wanted to chime in and say that I too would be uncomfortable with the scenario you described here:

He says the two leaders for his Boy Scout troop were an unmarried, non-parent marine and his longtime and married
pal, an alcoholic who used the camping trips as occasions to get falling-down drunk in the absence of his wife. The
boys thought it was funny.

It's interesting that, even among self-described liberals, the diversity of opinions is so large on this issue. I freely admit that my own personal experience (as a survivor of childhood sexual abuse) greatly impacts my feelings on this topic.

PS: To potential blackmailers: This information is known to my friends and family.
