I always thought that I had no connections at all to any secret societies such as the Free Masons, etc. However, I recently discovered that my great great grandfather was a charter (founding) member of the Master Sumpter Lodge in Little Rock, Arkansas. As a founding member, he must have been ranked extraordinarily high!

BTW- His name was/is D.B. McClendon (in presponse to any confusionary questions, he is dead).

Dude, back in the days before the internet, before television, back even before radio, people needed something to do. In the latter half of the last century, when life was not a constant struggle for survival, people got bored and got together and formed clubs, curch groups, lodges, fraternities, etc.

If you didn't participate in at least one of these groups, then you were quite likley a social pariah, the guy the parents warned thier kids about.

I'll bet you anything that the people that visit this place have connections to groups more powerful than the Mason!

you mean extraordinary low!

I am related to John Adams, and John Quincy Adams, as well as Calvin Coolidge. I am not sure about Calvin Coolidge, or Quincy, but I am pretty sure John Adams was a mason. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Sorry for the Swear, but im serious.

Knowing that thier are masonic lodges here in Edmonton, Alberta, I just rolled my eyes.

These old guys get together, watch some polo, drink some whiskey, and have mass orgys dedicated to Dyonisys (spelling), you know the god of, Sex, Drugs, Wine, Orgies and what not.

Oh yeah, and they wrote some book aswell, Holy grail, and the Holy blood.

Which reminds me, The man who told me that thier were masonic Lodges here, also had these books.....

OH NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

I dont understand whats so great about them.

We have any elderly multi-cultural center.

It was created by some old indian dudes, who wont let it old white dudes.

Even though they named it "MULTI-CULTURAL"

What a crazy world, What a bunch of crazy old men.
