As a profane I have heard much anti masonic discussion which is much less edited than that which you gentlemen may be accustomed to. I personally believe freemasonry to be a good thing. I believe that anti masonic feeling is born somewhat out of jelosy and somewhat out of misunderstanding. The only thing I have personally seen that gives them any credibility at all is the hypocracy of some freemasons espically in reguards to position on race. Every organization reguardless of its intent or makeup is rough around the edges in certain ways but anti masons will blow this out of perportion.
