No kidding. Okay everybody, one more time: the Freemasons are not a secret society; rather, they are a society of secrets. And the secrets, for that matter, are not that carefully guarded; they deal with the crafting and improvement of one's character.

Freemasonry is not a religion in and of itself, but does require that you believe in a Supreme Being (God, for those of you in Rio Linda).

Freemasonry is incompatible with the current European mentality, which has become rabidly secularist.

Finally, our country (the United States of America, for those of you in Rio Linda) was founded by Masons, and we seem to have turned out, as a nation, quite well, thank you.

Now don't make me come down here again. ;)

Nice save, Unc. I can see why the Bilderbergers have their eyes on you....
