[Tfug] Semi-off-topic...a good quote of mine made the AZ Star...

Eric, you're an idiot.  OK?  Sorry, it had to be said.

Do you have PROOF that Freemasons are evil?  I sure as hell don't.
Are there Freemason connections to this country's origins?  Of course
- see also the dollar bill.

In order to make a case that Washington was supporting something evil,
you have to prove the initial premise that masons are evil.  Now yeah,
I'm aware that people way deep into conspiracy stuff generally accept
freemason=evilbarsterds as a given.  But none have proof.

You're just doing such a basic logic fail here it's not funny.
