Larry K., your'e not going to like this, but, you say you had
to sing the songs, and I say you are a liar.  The supreme court
of the US, long before you were born, decided that issue.   As
to joining the scouts, that was YOUR problem, not anyone elses.
Further, we are not talking about the pioneers in the USSR, we
are talking about Nicaragua.  Children there are indeed
regimented wherever the government has a good stronghold.  If
you cannot see the difference between totalitarian governments
and our government, you indeed have a problem.  If you cannot see
the difference between kids having to sing in what passes for music
class in most schools and being forced to sing patriotic songs
at the local tractor factory, your in deep trouble.  If you
cannot see the difference between joining the scouts freely
and being forced to participate in regimented indoctrination
all the way through school (or getting no school at all), then
you need real help. 

Keep on Sporting Death, Larry.  When you become enlightened,
let us know.  In the meantime, please spare us your party line
remarks.
