(82,849 posts)48. Put 45,000 of them in a group setting
And a bunch of them are going to follow the herd in doing something stupid. It's the BSA leadership that should have insisted on getting the text of the president's remarks ahead of time, and insisting that he stick with the script or his mic would be cut off. How inappropriate is it to have the president hinting around about a hookers-and-blow party on some wealthy guy's yacht? Someone for BSA should have been monitoring the president's remarks and ready to intervene.
