I like marching bands. Does that make me bad.

Only if you try to sing to the music.

In college, the marching band's storage room was directly beneath my dorm window.

On football days, they were my unwelcome weekend alarm clock.

Thunderboy's marching band leader is definitely a dictator. Or something beginning with dic....

He's definitely compensating for something, and wears a school varsity jacket even though he did not attend the school.

I wonder how many 15 year olds know what a proto-fascist is, or even how to spell it.

I wonder how many 15 year olds 30 years ago knew what a proto-fascist was?

If I had a teenage kid, and he/she knew what a proto-fascist was, I think I'd take him/her to the vet and have him/her put down.

I had (have actually) a wicked smart friend whose hippie parents kept him and by extension me up to speed on The Man and his underlings... I was overly-aware.

No contest. Marching band is way more of a paramilitary organization than Boy Scouts is. At least in my experience with my kids.
