Doing things the 'status quo' way has put us in the position where we are today: we have slipped from being a society of gentlemen, discussing Newtonian physics or the ideals of liberty, to a society of know-nothings whose idea of Masonic education is five minutes of being read to from a page someone scored off the Internet.

What makes fraternal organizations exempt? <BR/><BR/>I don't know many Masons (at least not that I'm aware of!), but judging from your overall outlook, I'd say you represent your Brotherhood rather well.<BR/><BR/>And if nobody makes noise about our nation's fundamentalists, they'll take over more than the courts. . .Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
