At last and finally we are nearing the end of the obscenity that has become our presidential elections.
Tens of millions are spent on lowest-common-denominator advertising and one can only watch as we slowly but surely drag ourselves closer and closer to tearing this nation apart once and for all. Both parties, let me say this again....BOTH parties have felt it more important to engage in forms of character assassination and spin-doctoring rather than really address the issues that are in desperate need of attention.
Is it too much to ask that Masons try and discuss the issues rationally and without the rancor that seems to be so pervasive at this time?
It's tiring to read "Masonic" blogs where a brother states that he hopes you will make sure you vote, doesn't mind which side of the issues you stand, but then immediately goes on to say that a vote for one side or the other will fling open the gates of hell, end civilization as we know it and usher in the dawn of whatever it is most heinous and repulsive.
If we, as men who supposedly accept all races, creeds and truly stand by our obligations, cannot lead by example, then what good are we?
