Didn't they basically create and formulate the major tenets of the US Constitution? Not that there's much left of it now.

I am more than willing to "applaud" an excellent post.

I have a hunch that there will be more than one anti claiming that the masons are behind the banning and once again you will be accused of being a mason. It is gratifying that fair is equated with Masonry though.

A lot of Masonic organizations rent out there facilities for non-Masonic events, it's a good fundraising idea for the fraternity. For example, the Shrine Temple in Los Angeles is the home of the Emmy Awards.

I can vouch for that. I saw Marilyn Manson there once, of all bands to see at the Shrine Mosque...

Hey, come on, I was 16... Actually the concert rocked, but that guy's a bit of a freak.

The last Hollywood version of Phantom of the Opera used our lodge building's Scottish Rite theater for some of the movie.

Dude, I love METAL. What can I say? That was my rebellion as a teen. In retrospect, it could have been much worse, so...

I'm not much for Manson anymore, but give me a crunchy, tasty, metal riff and I'm soooo there. Killswitch Engage (my fave -- check out their lyrics -- this song is one of my favorites), Pantera, Metallica (pre-Load), Megadeth, TOOL (one of my all-time favorites), Clutch... anything that's got that energy and some wailing, filthy, dirty, *technically engaging* guitars, you know?

I hate cookie-cutter pop music.

Of course, I've been playing guitar for 13 years and I "cut my teeth" on Metallica and such... it just stuck. It was truly a glorious day when I made it through "Master of Puppets" from beginning to end at speed...

But yeah, Manson is a freak. A highly intelligent and articulate freak, but a freak nonetheless...

*we now return you to the topic at hand*
