The teacher was pretty cool and used it as an opportunity to discuss why this was and should someone not be allowed to do it. I was one of the few who sided with "of course you shouldn't be required." Then in boy scouts I really got in trouble. Cub scouts was always lots of fun, but in boy scouts all of a sudden we had things like uniform inspection, standing at attention and "at ease" and "at rest," starting and ending sentences to the scoutmaster with "Sir" ... it was all very militaristic. (I later learned not all troops were like this, but mine sure was.) This was 1970 and I was 10 (got into Boy scouts early because I was ahead a grade) and Vietnam was very much still on, and the 18 year olds in the troop were subject to the draft. I got in trouble for asking "You know how our slogan is 'Be Prepared?' Just what exactly are we being prepared for?" That didn't go over too well.

It's good to ask questions, even if you already believe in what you are questioning

The True Life Adventure "The Vanishing Prairie" was banned in Boston due to the buffalo calf birth, so said Roy Disney. <a href="http://www.dvdtalk.com/interviews/roy_disney_on_t.html" target="_blank">http://www.dvdtalk.com/intervi...n_t.html</a>
