Ted, Why do they send their kids to the conference if they disagree with its presentation? They don't. They sent their kids to a Girl Scout troop that endorses the Planned Parenthood conference. There's a degree of separation there, but apparently for those parents, it's not enough. Actually, we're both wrong.........the Girl Scouts endorse a sex education program prepared by Planned Parenthood that happens to discuss masturbation and homosexuality but does not discuss abortions. Given my recent student teaching experience, I find the stance of the parents laughable. All I'm saying is that they might not be the kooks and hypocrites you think they are. They could simply be people who believe in something so strongly they're willing to boycott organizations who support the opposing belief. They're not trying to force their beliefs upon anyone else except their children. Instead, they too prefer to stay away from those whom they disagree strongly with. Oh, I don't think they're kooks and hypocrites. They are exactly as you describe.......strong willed people with strong opinions. They are the people who put the "under God" in the pledge; who want the ten commandments posted in public buildings; who believe separation of church and state is wrong; who think abortions are an abomination; who condemn violence in film but condone the violence in the Passion; who call liberals unpatriotic; who complain the left is amoral; who consider the two second unveiling of JJ's breast a national travesty; who consider the invasion of Iraq God's will etc. Oh, I know who they are......they make their opinions and presence well known to the rest of us. I wish they were kooks and hypocrites. The fact that they aren't is what scares the bejezus out of me. ted
