Don't necessarily hate on a local Mason...it doesn't always equate to "evil Freemason." Especially in the early 20th century, local businesspeople and farmers joined to be part of a benevolent fraternal organization, and they did many good things for locals. It was also a measure of status, too, to be sure, but they did it for good reasons.
You don't start finding the evil agendas until you get higher up into the organization...agendas that are kept hidden from the lower members.

Forgive them for they know not what they do. In some cases anyway.
