[Woodcarver] Judging shows.

[Rebarris at cs.com]

I have judged many shows. And I for one do not want "Big Brother" looking 
over my shoulder. I think that situation could get way to political. All of the 
judges I have worked with use the same criteria and are very serious about 
their work. I think that it could get really expensive also. And who would you 
pick for this training? Would it be for only those who could afford it? Then who 
would be appointed to train these people? I can only remember one situation 
when the judging became ridiculous and controversial. The committee should never 
have permitted that. The committees who work to put on the shows around the 
country have more than enough responsibilities. I wouldn't want to impose more. 
And who takes those ribbons that serious anyhow? I give mine back to the 
people who held the show to use next year. Those things are expensive. Most just 
do it for fun. Just my opinion. Have fun carving.
