I am a Boy Scout.
As a Boy Scout, I must adhere to the Scout Honors and Rules.
I also must compete in the ridiculous pastime of carving rock-hard blocks of pine wood into a disgustingly complex model car. This pastime is the Pinewood Derby.
When judging the Pinewood Derby, the 'Judges', usually consisting of the troop leader, a bored housewife, and a balding middle aged man, have to rate us based on how well we race our cars, and how well we DECORATE them. This is not only a very bad idea, the judging process is faulty at best. For example, if one child makes a scaled model of a Ferrari, complete with wood polish and paint, it will lose the contest to a block of wood with a skull stapled to it's head named
'Ghost Rider'
Quality doesn't matter to them. It's all about originality!
They encourage Scouts to be WHO THEY ARE!
It makes me sick.
Cont. Tomorrow
