I keep reading how freemasons are evil and do horrible things. Yet I grew up with masons. I'm not evil, nor do I do horrible things. So, being new, and open minded. I would like to have a civilized discussion about the freemasons! And remember. I come from family members whom are passed now, but, were. Masons. I'm open to here. Thank you.

I think all secret societies are detestable. I think we all know this to be true but then twist ourselves up into the most grotesque logic trying to defend them because someone we like is in a secret society, or we hear that George Washington was a Freemason. But if you stop and just think about it, obviously secret societies are wrong.
Oh, well. This would have to include all the government/military classified activities, then. For example, the Manhattan Project. Or what goes on at the Los Alamos National Laboratory. Or what I might be doing as a contractor in a compartmented program.
Unless, of course, you think we should blab our mouths all over the press and internet, revealing all our national defense secrets and making us vulnerable to known adversaries.
The elemental unit of society is the family. Every family has secrets, but we usually refer to that as Privacy. So, you are saying there should be no privacy? Everyone's lives should be made transparent? How far do you want to stretch this absurdity?
