[QUOTE="CUZ, post: 423096, member: 4301"] Thank you for noticing. As I read about these innocent kids getting screwed over by the Boss Hoggs in their little part of the world it brought back a few very specific memories of kids (including my own) getting the short end of the stick through no fault of their own. These organizations can spout all of the high-ideal propaganda they want but they are [u]dependent[/u] on the local leaders to make it stand up. When the local leaders are martinets using their power to push and protect their own instead of the higher ideals of the organization it's worse than not having a club at all. There are good and bad leaders all over the country. If I come in and see my kids got a bad one and I notice it, it's not sour grapes - it's a FACT. There are also folks who show up and expect every rule to be bent or broken to accommodate them. That's also a fact. So the innocent get burned by bad leaders and good leaders get jaded by the obnoxious. This topic really pushes my buttons and I wanted to go on a bigger longer rant, but I'll just finish with a few key words that aren't in any mission statement but have already been mentioned because that's people's experiences with these organizations. Power, cliques, politics and revenge (as in "this is the one"). God Bless Us Every One Cuz [/QUOTE]
