I was so enraged when I saw the footage of the incident and you have properly captured the outrage in my head, removed the profanity, and placed it into this exquisite entry. All across this nation, people are constantly being made afraid . These unfounded fears are one the things we as a society need recognize as our greatest susceptibility to corruption and anti-American policy. Excellent!

It's almost a kind of religious insecurity for some people. They can't cope with the idea that some other idea has equal merit or worth to someone else and therefore it must not be right. I find the religion angle to be one of the most frustrating aspects of modern life and politics. where to begin…Aedifico, keep the it coming.

Sali's religious affiliation, but there is a traditional view that holds that the body of the state is held responsible for the actions of the individual. Of course this cuts both ways, because the interpretation of righteous behavior is often misconstrued. I suggest that many organized religions have as their primary mission the preservation and expansion of the organization, and so make anyone who disagrees with their doctrine a heretic and a threat. This in place of trying to live the real teachings of the founders of whatever group they claim to represent. I don’t know Rep.

Aedifico knows of my ire towards intolerance and ignorance to the point where I feel like beating bigots and idiots into enlightenment but that compass thing always gets in the way;) This incident just goes to show how completely jaded some people are about the world around them which is both shameful and disgusting in my opinion. I hope that Masons can learn from this and not turn a blind eye to historical fallacy or blatant disregard for our most cherished American provision.
