[quote=Drew Hause].....A boy's future was once built on a foundation of family (< than 25% of households in the U.S. today have both a mother and a father), school (public schools now DEI indoctrination camps), church (regular house of worship attendance in the U.S. is now about 30%) and Scouting (In 1972, about 31% of the 19 million boys aged 10 - 19 were in Scouting; in 1998, about 25 percent.) That foundation has been purposefully destroyed, and boys have never been as lost, confused, despondent, angry, and without purpose; which is reflected by the marked increase in suicide and suicide attempts in grade and middle schools....[quote]
I'm commenting to thank you for the link to the Boy's Life back issue, but I can't help noticing it's the same sociopolitical decay, expoused by some friends of the double gun, tacitly excused by those who claim to be unaffected. I do not think "we" should bother with a letter, it will be belittled as a joke.
Really great memories, scrolling through a couple of those issues. The plain old Sears catalog from that era was another drift off into dream land.
