No descrimination right? What about the Hell's angels? Let everyone in. Here comes that train around that corner.

In fact, I think it was sexist to not allow them. The big beef I have with BSA is the fact that it's a huge corporation that sucks in money. Donating to "Friends of Scouting?" It doesn't go to the local troop; it goes to the corp. The uniforms are over-priced and they want money for everything. I say boycott them, not for honoring TSM, but for the money-mongering corp they seem to be.<br /><br />By the way, that painting of Monson next to the king room . . . If they were both covered by dirt and excavated a thousand years from now, archeologists could look at that and suppose that this was a king, that the medals represented his kingship, and that the room next to the painting was where he held audience with his loyal subjects. Uncovering other buildings named after him would reinforce this belief.<br />ToniLJnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08336442943292813905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-199633972689777295.post-8122412389058863222016-10-06T16:34:05.817-07:002016-10-06T16:34:05.817-07:00These are becoming like the great monuments the Eg...These are becoming like the great monuments the Egyptians, the Greeks, the Romans, and other major societies have erected to honor and memorialize their pharaohs, senators, emperors, and other leaders....shortly before their imminent collapse (they thought they were "too big to fail"). In fact, the LDS Church News used the term "immortalize" in a story to describe this monument last year at its ground-breaking ceremony: "Another familiar name will be immortalized soon at the sprawling camp located on the north slope of Utah’s Uinta Mountains." (https://www.lds.org/church/news/ground-broken-on-thomas-s-monson-lodge?lang=eng). Additionally, the church currently lists 139 operating campgrounds, one is named after President Monson in Ontario, Canada, where he was a mission president many years ago (https://www.lds.org/locations/camping/sites/gallery?lang=eng).
