And just what would you consider morally unfit?

In the controversy over the Boy Scouts and gays, I had to chuckle over a letter to the editor. Thomas Miller of Flint, Texas, chastises the Boy Scouts for not upholding the Constitution. He feels they are not abiding by it since they exclude gays. Well, Thomas, I guess you're not abiding by it, either, because according to the Constitution, the Supreme Court decides these things, and they said in Boy Scouts of America et al. v. Dale, that the Boy Scouts are on a firm footing in their stand.

Thomas says, "If a Scout leader is gay, purple or Wiccan, as long as he or she is a morally fit person . . . they should be permitted to participate . . ." He considers a Wiccan to be morally fit? He considers homosexuals to be morally fit? And with that, Thomas, you have just made a very convincing argument for the Boy Scout side of the issue!
