The pink-toed kid is last year's news. But this photo has stuck with me. Why? Because look at Mom's face. She's sneering at him-- she's sneering at her own son.

Roping Lions in the Canyon. Zane Grey. 1922.
The reason Baden-Powell started the Boy Scouts is because he observed the boys of India forming "packs". He then observed the same phenomenon in England. Often the "packs" would turn to undesirable activities and cause chaos in their societies. Can you say "gangs"?
ReplyDeleteHe decided that there was a natural proclivity for boys to group, and that there was an opportunity to use that tendency to form their inclinations to a positive end for society. Hence the Boy Scouts.
And now we see that the Boy Scouts are being destroyed and the gangs are on the rise.
We sure are modern and smart.
Yeah. We're smart alright!
DeleteOne of the things I like about living in the country is that we do see little packs of kids roaming around just being kids. Often, there's a dog running along beside. Pretty soon there will be packs of boys with rifles coming to the door to ask if they can hunt!
