To do so would necessitate moving out of this world system Lance because
Freemasonry has roots everywhere.  You can't go into a small town in the South
without seeing a DAR obelisk and Civil War monuments embellished with Masonic
symbols and the Lodge building is usually central also.  A pastor told me once that
this is because the Lodge helped rebuild the South when it was so devastated and
held everything together - kind of.  It also permeates my husband's family though I doubt
that any of them know what it is really all about - most of them think it is good because
they claim to be able to make good men even better.  Our government is full of it and
I'm sure yours is also.
