ANST - Dry sites will annoy the chemically dependent

And tolerance of the wishes of the people who OWN the site. Remember,
they are not required to rent these sites to us.

> The banning of alcohol at events is being driven by the site owners,
YMCA and Boy Scouts, who are in the back pocket of the Christian right!

It is not only site owners who are imposing bans on alcohol. It is
also increasing government regulations and also those concerned with
the ease with which minors seem to get their hands on alcohol. There
are unfortunately too many (and ONE would be too many)people out there
who feel that giving alcohol to someone, especially teens is somehow
indoctrinating them. 

> Being Christian organizations, they have deep pockets and steady
revenue sources...they can afford to buy the campsites and thus impose
their will upon groups such as ours.  

Once again, so? It is their site. They can impose whatever rules they
wish. Also, I think you perhaps overestimate the resources these
places have. Take a good look at some of these boy scout camps we use.
How many lack the funds to even repair their roads?
