The city gave leased them the land....it didn't sell them the land...the lease was in perpetuity at $1.00 per year.... The city can tell them to take their building and get lost....or pay the rent on the land. It was understood that when the Scouts donated the building, they'd be allowed to continue to use it at nominal cost. But you can't trust politicians. ----------------------------------------- "Why not let them have Scout meetings in parks? Or in school buildings after classes are over?" Because they have no right to excuse any part of the public from public land or property....since they maintain they are a private organization and can admit anyone or noone, the same rules apply to them... Everyone should be allowed to use parks. And any organization that promotes good behavior and good citizenship ought to be allowed to use public facilities when they're not in use. I mention this cause I can remember knowing someone who's child went to scout meetings in a school in the afternoon after classes were over. --------------------------------------------- "They're wholesome upright kids. Thats why parents usually like their kids to take part." It's not the kids who are the problem, most don't know what the problem is.....they learn it from their parents.... Nothing wrong with what they're learning there. You're right, one of the problems is the required belief in a god.....why is that required.???? Makes you a better scout, a better person? The mention of God is to do one's duty to God. I've heard of Buddhist kids who had no problem being in Scouts. BTW you need to hate Girl Scouts too - their oath is here: On my honor, I will try: To serve God and my country, To help people at all times, And to live by the Girl Scout Law. Get this into your stone mind....believers have no lock on morality.....I'll match my morality with yours any day and it wouldn't be a contest. How do you know that? I know. Its because liberals always assume a position of moral superiority - they ascribe virtue to themselves because of their liberal beliefs. Personally, I'm a sinner and make no claims of moral superiority to most folks.
