“I feel enormously lucky you came along at just the right moment, and were so willing to help a stranger in need,” Curry wrote. “You are a credit to the Boy Scouts and to your families, and I want you to know I am deeply grateful for your kindness and skill.” -- Ann Curry

These young men are the product of an institution that has been hounded by progressive activists and media for decades.

I think you can tell the worth of an institution by its fruits. By that measure, would you rather have the Boy Scouts or gay bath houses?

Heinlein on Freedom of Thought and Freedom of Expression



When any government, or any church for that matter, undertakes to say to its subjects, “This you may not read, this you must not see, this you are forbidden to know,” the end result is tyranny and oppression, no matter how holy the motives. Mighty little force is needed to control a man whose mind has been hoodwinked; contrariwise, no amount of force can control a free man, a man whose mind is free. No, not the rack, not fission bombs, not anything — you can’t conquer a free man; the most you can do is kill him – Robert A. Heinlein
