Jason,
Pointing out that DaveR is very astute just makes him worse. Please don't encourage him
More importantly, what you have just said is exactly why I have no time for politicians any more.
(I say anymore, because this has not always been the case)
But now, I have concluded that THEY (no offence but I am including you) spend MY money and make decisions affecting ME... but the process of discussion is barred to me. I am not allowed to see or hear what is being said.
That is also true of the Masons. In a different way. This is another elite group who meet and discuss matters of some importance (I imagine) and once again its all in secret and clandestine.
The difference being, I don't think the Masons are spending MY money. Or are they? How would I know.
