..and the last shall be first.

Yeah, I too first clicked the link and was already in Pavlovian mode to criticize and demean... but... I watched and know what it is like to TRAIN and ORGANIZE said activities, and so far for my 7 million volunteer hours have recieved nothing. Occasionally, a student says "Thanks" or "Good job". That's enough.

I see guys giving their time to HELP some new umpires get better. Part of learning this craft is filtering good instruction from bad. Probably MOST of what this group was getting was good instruction. Was this group BETTER after these sessions? I'll bet yes.

As stated before, amazing how many working amatuer umpires and organizations have no and offer no training. I applaud all the instructors in this video and congratulate all the attendees for caring enough to work to improve.

In the end, extremist viewpoints, no matter where they are grounded, are dangerous. Extremist conservative, extremist liberal, extremist Muslim, extremist Christian, extremist tree hugger, extremist NRA member, whatever. I don't want to have lunch with any of them.

And as SDS stated earlier in a different way, in this country 99% of the population fits in to about 1% of the left/right political spectrum.

Now Kevin, THATS the way it is... goodnight.

I think extremist it the wrong word. It implies that McVeigh(for instance) took a legitimate belief too far. McVeigh was not a conservative gone wrong. He was an evil homicidal maniac. He murdered men, women, children and babies.

I am a conservative. I believe that the US Constitution does not allow many of the things that the Federal Government does. I REALLY believe that. I believe that I should speak out about it and try to elect people who will obey the US Constitution.

Did he believe some thins that I believe? I am sure he did. He probably believed in things that all of us believe in-that cannot explain his actions. He was evil-THAT explains his actions.
