Sure you can single out Freemasonry and deny reality, but maybe you should still be sitting in that treehouse instead?

Well I guess now I'll just try to become a Master Mason first and see where the river leads. I might enter the Scottish Rite later as I am a Huge fan of Masonist Albert Pike.

I know very little about Mr. Pike, and hope you can fill me in on a couple things. I have read opposing views on his having a large part in the development of the KKK. Do you believe that he was involved, or that those who claim he had nothing to do with it are correct?

Also, I have read that he apparently tried to edit, amend, or change certain Masonic traditions. Is that something you have any info. on?
Also, there is supposedly a statue of him in either Washington, DC, or New York, I can't recall which?

I was wondering last night who actually wrote the rituals for the first 3 degrees of Masonry. Do you have any clue? And how long have they been exactly the way they are today?

Did you get a broken pencil as well or are you asking me what the deal was with it?
If you got one as well you'll find out soon enough what its all about.

So TgSoe, how was it? I mean I know you can't say, but was it more or less what you were expecting?

The pencil thing will all come later.
