One of the things that really frustrates me about this BOD situation is that
they are selling access to a product that they do not produce--it is a product
that each of us make and give to each other, for free, and for the love of our
vision of what the SCA can be.

Because of this, when we try and see what the BOD sells to us with membership,
and then we look at what we get out of the SCA, we find that there must be
something more to membership than insurance and TI. There certainly is, and we
provide it.  I do not want the corporation telling me who I can give my efforts
to; I certainly do not predicate my volunteer time based on who has paid money
for TI and insurance, and who has not.
