Actually I had hoped to avoid the topic completely. I hate to talk about freemasonry because it is a classic conspiracy-uh-topic where the pyramid on the 1-dollar is flashed together with Baphomet goat symbols in all sorts of situations – even as symbols in the most famous pop icons. But I can’t any longer avoid the topic.
