The author brought this to our attention:
On May 15, the House of Representatives passed H.R. 5872, an act “To require the Secretary of the Treasury to mint coins in commemoration of the centennial of the Boy Scouts of America, and for other purposes.” The other purposes? The sale of the coins by the Secretary of the Treasury, with a surcharge on each coin sold to “be paid to the National Boy Scouts of America Foundation.” In other words, this is a congressionally mandated fundraiser for the Boy Scouts. With the act allowing for up to 350,000 of this coin to be issued and fixing the surcharge at $10 per coin, the Boy Scouts could receive as much as $3.5 million from their sale. Never before, in the long history of U.S. government issued commemorative coins, has this benefit been granted to an organization that promotes religion or discriminates based on religion.

brutelord,
Well said. “Moron” is about the strongest word I use, but at least it’s accurate.
I try very hard not to make things personal here, but I do have my limits!
Coulda fooled me.
KnowledgeIsPower,
O.K., I will sincerely try to do better!
Its mostly the tone, I think. Lots of exclamation marks, lots of capitalized words. I’m rather sensitive to writing that seems ‘busy’. Its why I don’t read many of phreedm’s posts anymore. The ellipses drive me nuts.
Of course, no reason to change your style on my behalf.
